I am OVERWEIGHT

Hi Everyone, I hope everyone is doing great on their journey. We are coming up on the 6th month mark. Well yesterday I hit another milestone, I am just overweight. I am no longer obese and would no longer qualify for surgery. I know I am not losing as fast as some of you, but I am pleased with my progress. I think I was considered a lightweight when I started this journey just needing to lose a little over 100 lbs. To date I have lost 75 pounds and have gone from a snug fitting 24 shorts and 1 x tops to a size 16 pants (some 14's there is a big difference in size depending on brand) and to a medium - large top. I still hope to lose another 35 lbs, but they are coming off very slowly now. Good luck and Best Wishes. Patty

Patty, Congratulations on the wt loss milestones....sounds like you are doing great. We all August surgeries are slowing a tad right now..but we will pick up again...and lose, lose , lose....take care . Sue

Thank Sue, Yes, from what I see on the August 2006 boards it looks like everyone is doing a great job. However like you I see some of the same complaints as far as slowing down. Mine is funny for the last couple months I won't lose anything for a couple week and then drop 6 or 7 lbs in a couple days. I hope all is well with you. Best Wishes patty
