5 Weeks out

Well I went to the doctor today for my one month check in one week late and I am now down 39 pounds. After getting the OK to return to work I went to the hospital to get cleared to return and I could not believe the reactions from people that have not seen me in 5 weeks. I guess it is hard for me to see the changes. I feel it in my clothes and my energy but the reactions were very overwhelming. But, I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

Congrats!!!!!!! That is wonderful. I'm soooooooooo jealous about you having engergy--I"m pooped! Keep up the gREAT work. --Courtney

How fun! Just wait until they see a 100 lb loss!! They'll think you hung the moon. Heidi

That's great!! 39 lbs is awesome! I bet your co-workers see the loss in your face/neck area the most. That's where most people see my loss right now (down 54 lbs). Also, take pictures. I can DEFINITELY see a difference in me in pictures. Keep up the good work. Compliments will keep growing and growing as you keep melting away!! It only gets better from here!! Kudos!

Congratulations Eileen I agree with the take lots of pictures. I do. For my own private viewing the day of surgery and every month on my surgery date I take of picture wearing only bra/panties. I also have taken other pictures so I can track my progress and share with others as well. My face is also the first thing to shrink and noticeably smaller. Deborah W.
