Yippee!!!! I'm in the -50 Club!!!!

After all this long period of losing about .1 lbs a day I FINALLY hit -50 lbs this morning. Part is my fault because, though I'm not *technically* back to work, I've been working since I came home from the hospital. I work from home for my husband and, well, I've complained enough about my husband here so you all know about that. Anyway, I was thrilled to pop on the scale and see that I'm finally down 50. I've only walked once this week so I put my foot down, LOUDLY, this morning about how I'll never accomplish anything if the other people in this house don't give me a little *me* time. So, now I'm just 16 lbs from 199. I wanna hit that before my Orlando trip. Not sure if I can but it's sometimes nice to have lofty goals. Have a healthy weekend!!!!! * Cyndi *

Congrats on the 50lbs!!! You are doing awesome!!!!! And you are right, you need me time!!!

Congrats Cyndi!! I'm almost there...I'm up to 41 today- that is since surgery and 59 since my initial consult. Hopefully you'll get to spend a little quality time with yourself Have a great weekend! Kathy

Congrats Cyndi, I also have just hit the 50 pound lost since the surgery. I was starting to think it wasn't going to come off but it has. I did lose 114 before but that is from June 1st, of 2006 and when I found out that I had lymphedema in both legs and had alot of fluid in them.

I am so proud of you Cyndi, you are going to hit the under 200 club very soon and you must be so excited. I can't wait for that day to arrive! We have walked this path together through it all and I feel like I have known you forever. You are so sweet and understanding and I love looking at your picture, your smile warms my heart. Hugs, Esther

Esther, I can't WAIT to hit 199. I have 13 pounds to get there and, for the first time in my dieting life, I know I'll get there! The lowest I can remember is being at 183 for years and years. I'll FREAK when I get below that. LOL I think I was 183 in high school and continued until my 1987 knee surgery. Right now my goal is 199. I've whizzed by all my other goals. I'm hoping to hit 199 before my August trip to Orlando. That would be fabulous! As for my new avatar, you've all heard about my 10 yr old little cheerleader Brittany. That's my best bud in the picture with me. She was so excited when I put on my size 26 jeans, they fell off and then I tried on my 18s. I might not have a ton of support from the hubby. But, what he doesn't give she more than makes up for! Have a great day Maysters! * Cyndi *

Hi Cyndi, We all need that someone special to keep us happy and your little Brittany sounds like a doll. Children are so pure and innocent and they show us the most love. I have 9 grandchildren and when I am around them, I feel 20 again because they don't look at me as being older then they are and they want to play and have fun with me and I love that. Your hubby probably is more excited then you think but you losing weight and being as beautiful as you are is a threat to him so be patient.....he will come around. Men are babies! Or my favorite saying that you said.....Natural Born Asses! Love ya, Esther
