6 months today

I have lost a total of 87 pounds in six months. It's not the 100 pounds I had hope for but that's O.K., 87 pounds in 6 months, that's 14.5 pounds a month, when was the last time any of us did that on our own? Anyways the road has not been bad for me at all. I'm down from 291 to 204, I still want to reach my goal of 160 even if it takes me a year or so. When I tell people that I have 44 more pounds to lose before I reach my goal, they think I'm crazy, some think I'm there now, and some could just be being nice, whatever the case, it's still my goal. If I get to 180 and like me there I may change back, that was my first goal..... I have been bounching between 202 and 205 for about 2 1/2 weeks now. I think if I can break out of the 2's I can maybe just roll on down to goal. Do I walk like I should, get my water in like I should? The answer would be no! I know I must do better. I'll be taking a new picture today for my profile, hope to get it up soon. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR JUST ALWAYS BEING THERE!!! THAT MEANS A LOT... 291/204/160 -87 Linda

Hi Linda! Just thought I'd stop by to commend you on your accomplishments. 87 pounds is great for 6 months. We both had hoped for 100 pounds by our 6 months, but not to worry. We haven't stopped losing yet. I went to doc's monday and have lost a total of -84. I was kind of upset because I had expected more. BUT....i have no room to complain. I've gone from a size 36 to a size 24 in 6 months. I feel better than I have in years. Well, anyway, keep up the great work. You are a very beautiful young lady. Take care of yourself and be happy. God bless!

Hi Linda, I too am 6 months out today too. I'm down from 219 to 162 (lost 80 pounds before surgery). Great to see another surgery twin. Your weight loss of 87 pounds is terrific. I'm so happy for you. I know you can get down to your goal weight whether that be 160 or 180 pounds. I would love to keep up with your progress. Have a great day. Paula A.

Awesome!!!! Congratulations. Mary
