hey all !! You guys are doing so great. Im down to 209 from 294 and I feel alot better than before. I walk every morning and bike ride every night I dont have to work. But I can't complain I am averaging about 5-10 pounds a month. My scale is an evil little thing though so I went and bought a new one. lol. Everyone at my work started a biggest loser thing and everytime we lose or stay the same we pay 2 bucks and every time we gain we pay 4 bucks. and the winner in january gets all the money. Go figure they would do it over the holidays. lol. my first week weigh in this past friday it showed i lost 5 pounds woooooohoooooooo I started at 216 and when I weighed in on friday i was 211 and since the weekend I have lost 3 more pounds. wooooohoooooooo. I hope all is well. And remember it is not how fast you lose the weight that matters or how much every week you lose it is along as you are feeling good about yourself. Everyone loses at there own pace. and you might not always lose weight but sometimes you lose just inches. good luck all and be well.

everyone is doing so great and dont worry about how fast or slow you lose just remember its a roadway to becoming healthy!!! great job all:thumbup:
