One year Anniversary

Hi everyone!! I just had my one year check up with the dr. My weight was 204 a loss of 130 pounds. I can;t believe that one year ago I weighed 334 pounds. I hope to keep losing I want to get to 150. I am sticking with the eating plan. No sugar and protien protein protein. Well I need to up my exercise but I am going to hope for the best and lose the rest of this weight. Good luck to everyone and happy re birthday. Patty

Happy rebirthday to you Patty. Congratulations on your success. 130 pounds is like losing a whole other person. Isn't it hard to imagine that you carried around all that weight? I know it is for me. I'm confident you'll lose all the weight you want. And, that's the way to go: protein, protein, protein, plus sip, sip, sip (water), jump, jump, jump (exercise), and gulp, gulp, gulp (vitamins & supplements)!! Continued success on your weight loss journey. Paula

Cute reply, Paula!

Patty, This certainly is the time for retrospection. You have had such wonderful progress in your journey thus far! I noticed that when I got to be around 200 it was so much easier to move and exercise than it was before. It used to hurt so much before, but now I can't live without it. Best wishes to you in reaching your goal. Isn't it nice to know that it is all possible now when it seemed so insurmountable just a year ago! Have a great day. Linn

Patty, YOu are doing FANTASTIC!!!! You are doing great too with staying on track and following the rules. Happy Re-Birthday to you. Mary

congrats on a great loss,, many hugs mary

Congratulations on your amazing weight loss. I'm happy to see that you are looking great and feeling great. Keep it up. Denise

Happy re-birthday to you!! I am also 1 year out (as of the 13th) I had my check up and the dr. says I've done great. I have lost 153 lbs. 1 year ago I was 321 pounds. I first set my goal at 150 but have since changed it to 160. I figure once I have my trunk lift I will loose the last 10 pounds. No sugar for me, Try to keep my protein atleast 60 g daily and my fluids atleast 64 oz daily. I need to be better with the exercise. Congrat's to you!!!!!!! Delainya 321/168/160
