Total loss for January....

The last time I posted (a couple of days ago) I was down a whole 1.5 pounds for January. This morning I weighed 150.5 for a total loss of 4.5 pounds for the month. I'll take it!! My major major major goal for the month of January was to hit the 100 pound loss mark and get my century club card. Total weight lost to date: 99.5 Why couldn't I just have that half pound??? *sigh* I'm claiming it. Right now. That half pound is OUTTA HERE!! Pam

Hey Cutie! I LOVE your new picture!!! It is so wonderful girl!!! I have only lost 5 lbs. this month so I am right there with you BUT I have lost a total of 95 lb. and I am so very, very happy with that. I have 33 lb. to lose to get to my goal of 135 lb. so it seems like it can happen! I have a goal of August to be at goal. I don't get too discouraged really. I am happy with my current sizes and my loss and I am thrilled that this has happened for me. If I can get to 100 lbs. gone this month, that would be wonderful and if not, it will happen So, girl if you can be happy! You've are doing phenomenally well and deserve to FEEL GOOD!!! Hugs! Jo

Thanks, Jo! You're so sweet You know, I haven't chatted with you in here for a few weeks...I really missed you! Yes, I think summer is my goal to be at goal too. I hope to lose about 25 more pounds (to put me at 125.5) ...but the lowest adult weight I ever had was 135...so maybe I'll be content at 135....I don't think I will really know until I get there. I guess I'll just see. Seems so wierd have such small numbers between here and goal...doesn't it? Hugs, Pam

TO strange...I lost 5 lbs this month, the last day i dropped 2 more lbs giving me this loss. I will take it....sure i want bigger losses but were not gaining and we are still looseing. YOUR new photo pam is great! LISA

You are right Lisa....thank goodness we didn't end up with any GAINS! Sooooooo thankful for that! Thanks about the pic...it took something like 3 weeks for them to put it on here! I was sick to death of the other one! Pam

my loss this month was 6 lbs. i beat december, which was 5 lbs, so i guess i won't complain. i did think this morning about being 8 months out and being down 91 lbs. i thought, i wonder if i could have done this without surgery? my guess is i probably could have, with a lot of self-control and dedication, BUT i would never be able to keep the weight off. i am still ever so grateful for this surgery! now i finally went and bought a pair of size 6 jeans from old navy and they fit! and they aren't even stretch! that's pretty cool. that is the size i want to be. believe me, they aren't a perfect fit just yet! but i got them on, buttoned and zipped --without laying on the bed! LOL now onward to reach my goal of 120. i was hoping to reach goal by 9 months. not going to lose 10 lbs this month, so it will happen when it happens. i figure i will be there in 2-3 months. hopefully a congrats is in order this morning. did you ditch the 1/2 lb or what? i am so excited for you!!! hugssss~mary jo

I was just telling someone (who was asking me if I would do it over again) that my very worst day today is a million times better than any of my "best" days before I had the surgery. I really am so thankful and happy. NOOOOOOOOOO that friggin' half pound is so STUBBORN! I'm gonna BEAT that joker!! I did have a WOW to make me feel better.....actually.....I had a BUNCH of WOWs today: 1. the size 8 jeans i bought 3 weeks ago....were really tight when I bought them....but I CAN WEAR THEM NOW....in PUBLIC!!! 2. I got HIT on by FOUR different men today!!!! 3. Item #2 above - made me feel sooooooo sexy!! ME!!!! 4. I was told that I'm getting TOO SKINNY!!! Toooooooo coooool! You!!! A size SIX!!!!! THAT is AWESOME!!! Hugs, Pam

that is lots of WOWS!!! 1. so cool! i hope in 3 weeks that my new size 6 jeans are less tight! 2. dang girl, you got it going on!!! 3. well, DUH!!! you ARE sexy!!! 4. don't you just love that? who woulda ever thunk it??? US??? too skinny??? get outta town! love ya!

I lost 11 pounds in January. I could have done better, though. I'm hoping for 15 at least in February,

Pam, 7.5 lbs for January but it does not seem like that, seems so much less but I tracked it in fitday.com. Congrats on the century club hun You can poo the 1/2 lbs gone. YOU ARE THERE>>>>YEAH! Take care Debra P
