I BELONG TO A SMALLER CLUB!

I joined the ranks of the others and now belong to the half century club!!!! The 6th of this month will be 3 months out and I hit 50lbs today! In no way do I think that is slow. I think it is fantastic. I am average!! WooHOO!!!!!!!!! I thought at first I was slow cause for a month nothing happened. Then all of a sudden it started picking up. I average about 2-3 lbs a week and I am very happy with that. Know why??? CAUSE IT IS A LOSS!!!! I am not gaining 2-3 lbs a week, I am LOSING it!!!! I do weigh every day and if I see a 2 lbs gain, I know it is water retention or something and I don't panic. To all of you who are just starting out and are getting frustrated...IT WILL COME OFF!!!! In your body's time, not yours. So just sit back, eat well, drink, exercise, rest, and enjoy the ride. It is so worth it. And it will work for you too. Joanne -50!!!!!

That is incredible Joanne! I know you didn't think it would happen with all the stuff you went through in the beginning. You made my goal of 50 by 3 months. I'll probably make it by 3 and 1/2 months. I'm not sweating it. I know it will happen. I'm happy for you and all of the other *loosers* here! Debbie -43.5

3 months, 3 1/3 months, 4 months....who cares. The bottom line is you ARE going to make it!!!! You're not far off from it now. And your doing a fabulous job!!!! Joanne

Congratulations!!! Keep up the GREAT work!!! Melissa 282/228/180 -54

Congratulations Joanne You have done so great & have been through so much . . . you're an inspiration!!! Not only do I want your weight loss (lol) . . . but your positive attitude! Amanda -36

Awwww Amanda. I'll tell you, having a positive attitude is key...wish I had it all the time... Thank you so much and if it wasn't for this board and the people at AMOS, I wouldn't have this attitude. It's cause of all of yu that I can make it through this easier than if I did it alone. Joanne -50

Hey Girl.... I am SOOOOOO JEALOUS !!!!!!!!!!! I just got off the phone with Dr. Pohl asking him about why the weight loss is just about stopped... anyway i sorta figured it out before i called him... I'm pretty sure its the sugar pills I noticed when i wasn't taking them (I was taking insulin & than stopped it) i was loseing 2-3 lbs a wk (I wrote everthing down) then i started taking them on 4-15 & the weight loss stopped since i started them i've only lost 2 lbs since 4-15 He said he thinks that's the reason also b/c the weight was really coming off & then it suddendly stopped when i went on the glucovance & i haven't changed my eating habits & i'm still excersicing... so i guess i'll stop them & see what happens... well that's good news for u keep up the good work !!!!!!!
