Wow Very EXCITED

I just found a height and weight scale and according to it I only need to lose 27 more pounds before I can have my other surgery. I didn't realize I was that close. I was starting to get discouraged because I hit a plataue. I keep thinking that from 310 to 177 was not that good but I guess I was wrong. Michelle

YOUR DOING AWESOME! I went for 310 and been stuck and sloppy at 167. KEEP up the great work.

Lisa you are being very hard on yourself. I have been working very hard to see myself the way others see me. You should try to do the same thing. We are no longer fat and unhealthy and we need to remember that is why we originally did this. I too have fought my self image and continue to do so. I have never met you, but yet I know you are beautiful! Please remember that. Wendy

Michelle, This is a very hard time for us. Up until 2 months ago, I continually lost weight and so I felt I could eat whatever and not bother to excersize. Now that we have lost the forward momentum from the surgery we have to work HARD! I am glad you are so close to your surgery! We can get where we want to be, but it will take determination now and that is a hard thing for most of us. I will be rooting for you. Wendy

I agree it is hard and I started to give up but now I have this fire under my butt to do better. I started writing down some healthy recipes that I want to try and I am going to go to the gym tomarrow. Here on post we have a few gyms here that is free for all military and families so I am going to make use of it. Thanks for your encouragement. We will work together on this Michelle
