Finally! Below 200!
Hi all!
I didn't think this day would EVER get here! My scale read 199 this morning!!!!! YEAH!!!! Now - I'm sure it will toggle back and forth because it has been doing that for the last month with the last 5 pounds, but at least it was here! I should have taken a picture of it! LOL
My doc & I decided that 170 or lower was a good weight for me. It was both realistic and attainable, and even more importantly, one that I can maintain over the long haul. I have a large frame and am gaining a whole new set of muscles, so I look great already (as long as the clothes are on! - hehehehe). I might try to aim for 150 as I first wanted - but anything under 170 is icing on the cake!
PS - I got the traveling HR Consultant job that I was trying for. I start on Aug. 25 in Tennessee for 3 weeks then I'm off to meet the world! I'm so excited!

Hi Barbie,
Congrats on the job change, hope it all goes as well as you want it to! I can not believe the difference in how I look (with clothes on) from just 10# ago, my brother saw me for the first time since Easter time about 3 w/ends ago and then again last w/end, and said that he could tell a big difference from the 2 weeks prior!
It is so awesome when all these great things start happening, isn't it?
I started out a little higher than you, and my Dr said I had already reached goal as far as he was concerned (his goal is BMI of 26-27) but if I wanted to try for BMI of 23-25 by 1st anniversary that was fine by him! So I am going to 'go for the gold' but am very happy with what I have done so far.
