Hello everyone, I will hit my 5 months on the 13th of July. I started at 258lbs and now I'm down to 188lbs. I feel great and can't weight to hit my doctors goal of 150lbs. I do lots of walking and I have hand weights to help with the arm flab. I have to agree with everyone else about keeping up the good work....fight for what you believe in and you will always come out a winner!!!

wtg-congrats on the wonderful weight loss-- I am out 5 months now too and I have lost 71 lbs.. But I am not very active as diabetes has done its damage to my body and legs/feet.. Mostly in a wheel chair and praying alot and trying to move s much as possible--but am lighter as I lost 139 lbs since before and after my surgery on 2/6/07..I still have 111 lbs tom y goal as I am tall.. So 198 would be good for me. Hope everyone is doing well.. Susie blessings
