Half Century Mark!!!

Congrats Melissa!!! It's amazing how hitting that 50 lb. mark is such a wonderful feeling... I hit 52 lbs. on Sunday... and I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere... Ironically, I haven't felt like alot of you guys in our May group, who have said that you have been feeling like it's "melting" off and that the sizes are slipping away... I am amazed at the difference we all have in the losing cycle. While I see it in my face and in the way my clothes fit... I'm by no means "melting" away any fat... I actually start to get a little down when I read some of the posts and see that although I am doing good with the weight, I still feel inadequate in the way I'm losing... I've barely gotten into size 26 jeans... (of course I started at 32's) ... but, I guess I had higher expectations... and expectations just ruin ya!! I've decided to go for smaller monthly goals... I only lost 15 lbs. my 2nd month... and it should have been more... (I think the problem is that I still throw everything up ... so all I eat is Ritz Crisp & pretzels, because they stay in!!) This is such a learning process... I want to eat normal food again... I'd kill for a salad... and to not throw it up!! Anyway, thanks for listening... but BIG CONGRATS to you Melissa... Keep up the great work!! Aloha, Loree

Loree sweetie!! I am the same say as you. My face and neck saw it first, and my clothes fit alot better. Now the other day I did go through some older clothes, and I can wear them now. But in no way is it melting off, but it is coming off at a good rate in all, as long as I don't get on the scale everyday it looks good once a week. Congrats on your loss too!! Take care sweetie and keep me posted on your progress.- Melissa
