I'm on my way family......

Hello family I'm down 72 pounds from 292 to 220 heading toward 150, yesterday was my 3 month mark,working out daily has really helped me , I'm even getting in my protien and vitmans daily, I must admit that I need to do better with my water intake.Thanks for your continued support. Joi

wow!!!!!! awesome ....you are doing great!!!!

Wow Joi 72 pounds is great! I started at around the same weight as you and only have lost around 51 pounds, but I am happy with that. Just wondering what kind of work out you do. I just do aerobics right now. For the last 2 weeks, I have upped it to 1 hour a day, using the bike, ellipital and treadmill. You are doing wonderfully--keep it up!! Sue

Did I hear you say " I ONLY lost 51 lbs.?!!!!" 51 lbs. is great!!!!! Keep your perspective, girl. We have lost 51 lbs. in only a few months!!! Today at the gym, I overheard two women talking about their weight loss (no surgery) just diet and exercise. One had lost 7 lbs. and the other only 5 lbs. in a month!!!! I imagined myself walking over and saying "Hi, I lost 51 lbs. in 2 1/2 months!" Imagine the reaction. LOL Pat yourself on the back and say "I am getting thin and healthy" 10 times a day..

You are right, Lou Ann, I should change that attitude a little. I will try to be more positive. Sue

That is wonderful. I am 11 weeks out and have lost 51 lbs. What kind of exercise are you doing? I do water aerobics 3-4 times a week and I don't feel this enough. Keep up the wonderful work, you will be at 150 before you know it. Kim 286/235/150ish
