you GO, GIRL!!!!!

U r looking good girl!!! I've got 30# to go.

Hey there fellow Junies
You all have been busy! I feel off track for a month! Stupid stall plate head games with me! Back on track now and sitting pretty at 202.4
So close to onederland I can almost taste it!
I haven't been in onederland since high school.
I'm doing my first 5k this Saturday for in honor of my brother for autism awareness!

Hi Carol,
You are correct on all accounts! I have taken two outside walks this week. On vacation I lost my charger to my brand new fitbit, so I will get that back going soon. I have signed up for my first 5K. Its on Mother's Day. Looking forward to marking that off of my "to-do" list. I'm still working towards the triathlon, but it may be later in the year.
Good goals you have set. I am working on cooking more complete meals at home and just taking a couple of bites of each. I'm also working on getting my Water intake up.
We can do this! I am so thankful for this group! Its great to know I can bring my issues here and you guys totally understand!

Hey Mel,
For all of us, we have been at this for months and the scale has slowed way down. We aren't getting the compliments like we were a few months ago (or at least I'm not). We still have more we want to lose, but we keep hearing 'you look great' which I think plays with our heads and eats away at motivation. I think a big chunck of us are with you! I have a bit less than 20 pounds to go. I look in the mirror and think, I could just stop now.
On the up side, the weather is improving (even in Minnesota!) Last night hubby and I were able to take a nice long walk - OUTSIDE!. Soon the farmers markets will open with locally gown produce and other products. In order to switch things up a bit I am looking at making two more changes. One, I am going to research more organically, locally gown food choices. Two, with my Fit Bit I am going to focus on really hitting the goals. Even if the scale quits moving I think making these changes can only improve my health. At least I will feel like I am doing something positive!
Keep moving! Keep on keeping on!!

I too have 20lbs to lose, but I think my body is catching up with the loss, losing girth. I noticed on my belt i need to make another notch, so I know Im still losing in someway. I find myself now wanting to go to public places more. I was in Walmart and the cashier laughed at me looking at my chest where the sag is still there with some sort of fat there and it hangs like boobs... I felt my face get flushed a little but I just smiled and laughed with her and said hey , I lost a lot of weight and it's still coming off, I didn't make no reference on her being over weight but just said I feel better everyday and things like that I just take it with a grain of salt and move on!

I still have at least 20 to lose for my personal goal.

Mel,
Is it a stall? or is it a slooooooooow loss? I haven't had any big losses in a while, but i'm still losing about a pound every 2-3 weeks.

Good Morning Junies!
Well, I have reached my pre-surgery weight goal! When I began this journey my goal was to reach 150 pounds. My surgeon said that he thought I would 'bottom out' at about 180. This week I have hit 150! I have been increasing my activity and exercise so I have decided to keep going. I am only 5'2", so at 150 by BMI is still in the 'overweight' category. I am going to see if I can get to 130, which will put me at a normal BMI. If I make it, it will also mean that I will have lost 200 pounds.
Here's to new goals!
Carol

Hey junies! I have been MIA for a while, just living life. A lot of great things are happening in my life and I had to share the most recent success with you all because I know you will understand my joy.
Today I FINALLY reached onederland!! The last pound took forever! I still have about 25lbs to lose, but this is a big milestone in sure you all can relate to!
I hope everyone is doing great!!

CONGRATS!!! Do you think your Mom and my Dad might be up there giving each other a 'high five' about now for their daughters success? I was just thinking this morning how proud Dad would be with what I have done this year. You know they are with us!!

Size 22 to a size 6. Great journey !!

Hello fellow June peeps. I just found this app. Wish I had known about it a long time ago. I did the gastric bypass in June 2013 I have lost 97lbs and still have about 40 to go to be at my goal weight. I live in Washington State and am also obsessed with my fitbit flex I look forward to getting to know all of you.

I have officially gone 1 week with no blood pressure medication!!

I have 3 more lbs till I am in onederland and 28 lbs till my goal weight. I am hopeful to reach it by the end of June!
I downloaded the C25K app and ran today. I was awful !!! My body didn't know how to move my nose ran... Out of breath... So I figured I can only get better. I signed up for a 5K may 10th! I'm going to own this!!! I think I can.. I think I can...

Hello my Friends;
I guess I feel like babbling after a good church service yesterday . I have not hit my goal yet and 19 lbs is within reach but still so far away. So when I hit my goal ..now what??.. Is this race over? Do I say ok, its pizza time. Where is my prize? ... For me this journey will never end. My prize is that Im C-pap free; I take way less meds and my mirror loves me and so does cameras , The best thing now is that I can buy clothes off the rack. Thats my prize. Along with warm smiles. I will always battle mind hunger on eating the right things, so just remember when you hit your goal; your journey begins. May you gain love and the only thing you lose in life are pounds ..lets keep our life long journey together with these post. You give me strength knowing that Im not the only one. ...peace

Helllloooooooo Mel! sorry about the inactivity, the past two weeks have been a blur. im changing departments and going over to our camera security group in an IT support tech roll. i have been training my replacement in special projects.
Health and weight are on track in fact i skipped over a size and now wear the same size i was in my early 20's ......Jeans...im wearing and fitting nicely into jeans for god sakes....its amazing!!!!
Picked up a fit bit flex and currently obsessing on that. i highly recommend it. amazing little device they should give one out with every RNY.
Congrats on the bathing suit thing :-) when do we get to see the pics...hubba hubba.
Hope your doing well have a great evening you skinny thing. catch ya later.
