Great News

I lurk a lot...post now and then...just wanted to give some good news! In the last 2 months or so I have lost about 18 lbs. I haven't really been trying anything new, I just guess I busted my plateau. I hadnt lost anything for 5 months! It was maddening! I have now lost 102 lbs. I never thought I would make it to the century club!! I started at 255.5 and yesterday I weighed 153.6. I was stunned!!! I would really like to get to 145 as my personal goal and I had no hope of getting there til now!! A friend of mine that had surgery 2 years ago keeps telling me it will happen when you least expect it and it will drop off in a big chunk. I also have sold my crappy run down house [a miracle altho we dont sign the papers for two weeks--keep your fingers crossed] and are moving to my [almost] dream house this weekend. Any candle lighting, prayers of good luck, odd rituals that bring good fortune will be welcomed!! Have a great Tuesday! Marielpn

Hi there Marie! Welcome aboard ... you should post more often! Although you are welcome to lurk too! Congratulations on breaking your plateau! That is wonderful, especially after waiting for so long. I bet you were about to pull your hair out! Good luck on moving into your dream house ... what is it like??? Deanna

i avoid pullage of the hair.....i finally got it to grow back taking biotin every day!!!! but yes i was resigned to not losing more. dream house is great. it is a ranch house 3 bedrooms a full partial finished basement and we got a great deal!! right now the 4 of us live in a two bedroom house with one working bathroom that you have to walk thru my bedroom to use. [we did get the other bathroom fixed but noone seems to remember it is fixed when i amasleep!!] i never thought I would be able to move to something bigger and nicer. Just like before surgery I never thought I would weigh 153 lbs EVER. My life has gotten so much better in the last year I cant believe it. ooo and i was flirted with twice this morning on my way home from work. lol. life is GOOD!!

Hi Marie Good to hear from you, and congratulations!! Isn't that just great being flirted with? Even if you don't do anything about it, it sure feels good doesn't it Hope the house sale all goes through ok. Let us know when you've moved so we can post a house warming shower for you
