Well...I am 147 today and 7 lbs from my original goal of 140 but then I changed that goal to 130...so make that 17 lbs from goal... Kristy

Saturday I stepped on the scale, it said I've lost 101lbs since surgery. Not believing my own scale I went over to the scale at the doctors it too said I lost 101!. I have lost 125lbs since I started on this journey. It makes me speechless how my life has changed. I am totally in awe!

Norma, You are doing an awesome job! current weight: 156 loss this week: 1 lb. total loss: 100lbs. I also enjoy taco bell and get the crunchy taco. I looked up the nutritional info and they really aren't that bad for you believe it or not the soft taco has more calories I would think the opposite. I also love popeye's naked chicken strips. I am Marylander and love steamed crabs (lots of protein). I like the south beach protein bars but try to only eat half because I think the carbs are a little high, but I do enjoy them. I am still doing my Low Carb Carnation Instant Breakfast w/ ff carb countdown milk every morning. I think I really need to start chewing breakfast but food doesn't sit well with me in the morning. And of course my string cheese for snacks. I pretty much do 3 small meals a day and 2 snacks. I seem to do better on week-days because of my work schedule I am more routine. Week-ends are a little harder either I eat to much or not enough. Well take care and keep up the great work. I think we are doing great for our starting weight being a little on the lighter side. Thanks for posting the progress report I think it would be great to do a weekly thing. --Marianne 256/156/140-goal 120-dream

Thank you so much Maria! --Marianne 256/156/140-goal 120-dream

Norma...two progress reports in a few days???? This is the one I posted on your other report of a few days ago. Hi Norma.....your not the only one who has been away from the board, I am guilty as charged! Seems like we are more active between the "NEW" us and the weather getting better. As of today, I have lost 100 pounds and 97 inches. I know many of you have lost more than me, and were lighter to start, BUT, I am slow and steady. I have not hit a plateau as of yet, and that in itself says alot about how I am shedding the weight. Seems like my body likes what I am doing, and rewards me by not plateauing...lol I am amazed at how good I feel. I want to do things, I want to be a part of things, I want to live again, and I am! Have a great day! Susan 300/200/160 ...
