117 pounds gone...but not forgotten

I am so thankful for the weight I have lost so far. Although I must admitt that I had and still have alot of weight to lose. My six month anniversary will be Feb. 29th. It's funny how even with weight loss, your mind still "thinks" fat. It makes it hard to really see my own loss, although other people do. I will get there one day.....soon I hope. Until then I will enjoy the new lease on life I have been given. At least I have bikini season to look forward to!! (That was a joke!)

Congratulations Nikki, Great job, 117 that's a bug #, you are on your way to wearing that bikini I just cant even think of myself in a bathingsuit yet! But one day maybe! Keep up the great job. Edna

Congrats...you've come a long way, baby!! ;)

CONGRATS! The weight loss is awesome! I started in the 270's and am down to 158 six months out. I still see myself as fat too. Everyone tells me I am too small, but I still feel like I need to lose at least 40 more lbs. My Dr. says to go to 145 and he will remove the skin...so I am getting close I get. It is funny...I am so scared to get fat again...like the fat will grow back or something lol. Does anyone else feel like this? CRAZINESS!!!

Yes I do feel that way! It is funny that when you get on this site you read your every thought that you have yet to say out loud! I love the support I have here!
