Guess What?

Today my husband turned 47 and I met a new weight loss. I have now lost a total of 69 pounds. I am now the proud only of 222 pounds I now carry around. That's a big jump from 291. Just think, just a month or so ago, I didn't even think I would lose this much weigh this fast, for weeks I felt like it was coming off really slow. I still don't think it's as fast as I want it to, but it's not as slow as I first thought. Only 31 more pounds to lose between now and 8/10/2004, that will be my 100 pounds in six months. If I make that well and good, but if not, I don't really care anymore, I'm so happy for the weight I have lost so far, I'm willing to take the rest as it comes, slow or fast... 291/222/180 -69 Linda

CONGRATS TO YOU! 69 pounds is great. You are doing so well on your losing. Keep up that positive attitude and the good work. Oh tell your hubby "happy birthday" too. Be happy and stay encouraged.

69 pounds is great! Congratulations!! Linda L. -54

That's AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Have you made any plans for the 100 lb anniversary? I want to get a tattoo....my husband says we will talk about it...You know until you said something I didn't realize that my 100 lbs will be within 6 months too. Funny how we think it coming off so slow and then in great big chunks. You keep upi the good work. Noelle 326/252/125

I'm getting a tattoo also! I already have one on my lower leg. It is a sword with yellow Peace rose wrapped around it. It symbolizes my pain from the past and the peace that I hope for. Now when I reach the 100 pound loss I want to get a butterfly tattoo to symbolize the new me. The me that is happy and free from all the restrictions my excess weight put on me. Linda L. -54

Linda, you're doing so well! I too have a goal of 100 lbs by 6 months. It would be really nice if for once in my life I did something ahead of time. Congrats on your achievement... Windy/Pat

Linda, What fantastic news. You are doing GREAT. Happy Birthday to your hubby too. Mary
