Wow!! What an accomplishment! I plan to start participating in a few upcoming walk/runs, but not quite ready for the 5K. I'm so happy for you that you've met someone special. I am itching to get out there and date, but I still feel a bit insecure. I know when I'm 'ready', I'll take the plunge. I've been alone for way too long!
Keep it up...goal is right around the corner!

Just wanted to say "thanks" for your never-ending support here. Whenever I find myself throwing a pity party, I know I can hop online and count on you guys! 
The August 05 peeps are the best!
Tammy, you are so right...I THINK I'm still the same huge person in the pics, but then when I do a side-by-side comparison, I can really see a difference. Sometimes I just need the wake-up call, I guess. And Lori, you're such a sweetie...I wish we lived closer...you'd be awesome to hang out with! And you're right...I also used to think "gee, I'm not that big" when I saw pics of myself pre-op. Wow! I just dug up some photos taken Feb 05 and compared them to Feb 06 and what an amazing difference!
I'm going to make it a point to take a bold step in my journey and just ask a friend to snap away...no apologies! Then...if only I could post them! Wouldn't it be nice?

Holding steady at 210!

Hello.
Late in posting but Hurray for exercise!
I never thought I would be one of those "have to exercise" people, but I am. I exercised 40 mins this am. Had errands to run this pm and didn't do my pm exercise; so now I feel like I missed something. I think that is why I'm still up. It's like I missed something today.
Happy with my progress for the month with exercise. I need to weigh myself badly. Haven't weighed any this month. But I feel good. And nothing I own fits anymore. (so I must be wearing under a 20).
So Hurray for exercise! It's going to be hot in Texas for June but I'm going to keep going.
Have Fun!

Hi Toni,
I know exactly what you are talking about. I have the same problem. I am much smaller on top then bottom so I wear some lrg to Xlrg in the top. Yet to fit at the waist I really need a 1X, but they are way too big in the bust area. Then I wear between a 20w to 14w and sometimes an 18 if it is stretchy in the bottoms. It is very frustrating when I read that many of our August friends are wearing 14, 16 and some are even smaller.
It makes me feel like crying. I think what's wrong with me. Then I realize that at 293, I could hardly move and get around. I am proud of where I am but just want more faster...but, don't we all!
Take care,
Lori

Well, I didn't make goal for May, so let's start anew.
I currently weigh 203, so by end of June I would like to weigh 198 which was my goal for May. I have been battling the same 2 pounds for 3 weeks now and I am getting very frustrated. I feel like I'll never make it to onederland. I want so badly to be under 200 pounds for once in my adult life.
So, what to do to get there:
1. Eat more protein...I believe I've been lazy in this area.
2. No grazing...I seem to do this about 3 times a week. Not constant, but more snacking then I need too.
3. Drink more water. Been lazy with this as well.
4. Star****er aerobics 3 days a wee****il I move. No pool after that.
Well, those are good goals and I hope to hit onderland by end of June for sure! Would even like to be in the century club, but not holding my breath. It seems like 5 pounds would be easy, but these days it isn't easy at all.
Good luck to us all!!

Hi Diana,
Congrats on your wonderful achievement! Wow! a 5k...that's impressive. I wonder if that is something I could ever do?
Also, good luck with your relationship. I am very happy for you in that as well.
I, too, was like you, still am to a degree, about never getting married. But, who knows? Maybe it will happen.
Take care and hope you get the ulcer thing taken care of.

Hi Lynne,
I think your stats should read 276/176/156. OMG! You are just 20 pounds to goal...that's fantastic too!! Wow! what an amazing accomplishment.
I feel like I'll never even reach onederland let alone loose 100 pounds. I am fighting the same 2 pounds day by day. Yes, I know the struggle of trying to see it gone before the end of the month, but oops, it's here tomorrow.
I know that I will make it, it is just very frustrating. Today has been a bad day for me, so I'm not too encouraging for my own benefit, but I do want to say, "YOU GO GIRL!!! YOU ROCK!!!!"
