Only 13 lbs to go!!

I am so excited!! I weighed in today for my monthly visit and I dropped 9 lbs this month. That makes me only 13 lbs from my doctor's goal for me. I am planning to loose another 20 lbs from that goal but one goal at a time.

Congratulations! That is awesome. 9 lbs in a month that is great. How did you do it? I never lose that fast anymore. Tell us your secret. Lynn

Thank you Lynn. I am not exactly sure how it happened. All I know is that I started walking more regularly (at least 2.5-3 miles at a time), watched my calories carefully, and drank or ate popcicles (sp?) at lot more. I just hope this continues. Again thanks.

Congratulations!! That is awesome!! Do you track your calories? I'm curious what your calorie intake is--I'm having a struggle to lose any at all now, and I'd like to lose 30 more. Becky/lap rny/6-22-05

Becky yes I track my calories. I use fitday.com; that way I can also track my carb and fat intake. It also shows me how far I am from goal. I can also keep track of my exercise. I am walking up to 2.5-3 miles at a time now. Wish I could increase it but there just doesn't seem to be enough time in my day. Don't know what I am going to do when I have to go back to work; I teach so summer is about over for me. Oh well guess I will have to get up early and walk especially when the time changes. Don't give up you can do it!!! Good luck and God Bless.

Hi Laural, Feels great doesn't it? Congratulations, goal is right around the corner... Alesia

Laura, You replied to my post, but forgot to tell us how many calories you take in each day. Maybe we can learn something from your success!! Becky

Sorry about that. I try to keep my calories from about 1000 - 1100; but sometimes it goes up to 1200 at the very highest. I usually don't like to go that high but some days are just crazy!! It usually happens when I don'****ch my crabs to carefully. Hope this helps. Laural

Laural, congratulations on being so close to your first goal! You'll make it in no time. Hugs, Lucy 484.8/383.4/184.4/160 pre-surg/surg day/current/goal
