I May Be 198 Pounds But I'm Not A Weakling!!!

Hi Everyone: It's Friday so you know what time it is (LOL). It's been 37 weeks since my surgery and I have reached another milestone on my weight loss journey. I weighed in this morning at 198 pounds!!! That's a 175 pound loss and it's the first time I've been under 200 pounds since I had my appendix taken out in December, 1974. I really wanted to make this goal so I spent the week on the protein train, getting plenty of water, exercising like crazy and I made it. My words of wisdom is to stay on track. Don't let anything or anybody deter you from your goals. Great things can be achieved once you put in a total effort. Remember, the only person you cheat if you are not totally committed to following your surgeon's plan is yourself. Till next week. Jesse 373/198/-175

Wow, congrats, Jesse, on breaking through that 200-pound barrier!

Jesse, you are awesome. I think your friday posts are a much needed inspiration... so keep them coming. And excellent job!!! 198.... I am almost to that mark myself... it's my mini-goal to be 199. I'm at 202, with 28 more lbs to lose til goal... I'm 5'11". and I just feel like I'll never get below 200, even though i'm like touching it with my finger tips. Keep up the great work!!! You go, boy! -Sheri was 350, now 202 lost: 148lbs. 28 more to go....
