That is incredible. 87 lbs in 3 months. What does that feel like? You were able to see an average of 7 lbs per week drop off. I am at 52 lbs lost, in 4 months. I am averaging around 3 lbs per week. I feel great but another 35 lbs would put me at 87 lbs lost. If I continue the way that I have been, then it will take another 3 months until I get there. Slow is OK as long as the weight doesn't stop coming off yet. I eat whatever I feel like eating and I haven't done a bit of exercising. That's probably why it is coming off so slow. Anyway, congratulations.

I've lost 64 pounds and I am at my 3 month mark as of today! I know that three months ago I was having second thoughts and anxiety.... So glad I went thru with it. Congrats to you!!! Keep up the great work!
