YAHOO! I MADE IT!!!

100 yucky ugly pounds gone forever in only 9 months! I've gone from a size 22/24 to a size 10/12 so far! I used to get a bit discouraged when I'd read about others who had lost 100 in less than 5 or 6 months--guess I was jealous. But then I started really thinking about how many things I do now that I would never have even tried before. And how many inches and sizes I've dropped already. When you look at the whole picture it is truly beautiful. We are all unique and what may seem "normal" weight loss may not be normal for us all. It's not just about a number on the scale, but how we feel and look. I exercise almost every day and I have a lot of muscle so I can't beat myself up if I weigh more than somebody else that is the same height. We need to all love ourselves and be proud of our accomplishments and when we fall off the wagon for a little bit, we need to get up, dust ourselves off and get back on the wagon! Thank you all for the support here and for sharing your journey's! And always "keep giving up the good for the great!!" Charlotte 269/169/??

Congrats! I'm on a terrible stand still, but hoping things will startng moving. I'm down a few lbs in the last week or so. If anyone has any ideas............ PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I'm terribly fustrated with my lack of loss the last 3 months. I'm only down 76 lbs since surgery and feel like I must be doing somthing wrong. I have 34 lbs to goal. I'm really hoping that I make it by my anniversary date. I'm new to this site and really need some support. I've been very private about my surgery. I'm 52 yrs old and live in a small town in nothern Wyoming. I work in a hospital about 25 miles away. We have 3 grown children and 2 beautiful granddaughters 4 yrs and 9 months. It's been very interesting reading all the post. Becky

I'm glad it isn't just me. I have been stuck here at 150 for months! I have 30 more pounds to go and have become very discouraged. I know some of it is my fault. The weather has turned cold and I went into hibernation like I do every year. I can't get up the energy or courage to face the elements here in the northeast. :-l I don't want to stay at this weight. I am down from a size 22 to a 12 but for all the pain and suffering I went through-I want it all!!!
