My 3-month celebration

Well finally I get to report my 3 month success, I am down 76 pounds today. This last week I have had a cold/flu virus and bronchitis so I am pleased a*****h to have reached this revised goal or getting into the 200's. I am officially 296 and am damn proud to say so. In May 2004 I was at least 387 pounds. I went to have my bronchitis checked by my PCP and was given a vitamin B-12 shot, cool, I was just going to ask about the dosage of the pills I purchased, but I took what was offered. Now I will get a monthly until my labs state otherwise. The hardest thing so far is keeping track of every bite I take, it is so easy to eat 1200 calories a day or more, so I decided I would shoot for 800 and any overage wouldn't stop me from being a loser. I am thinking about attending OA until I can go back to school and stop thinking about munching all the time. Nuts are a big problem for me an ounce is so small and it's 150-220 calories an ounce, I have got to just learn to say NO to nuts in my diet and in my life and then all will be smoother.

you go gal...this is an awesome weight loss and be proud you are a loser...

Congratulations on the awesome weight loss! I know that different things work for different folks regarding their eating issues...but it is a good thing that you realize trigger issues regarding YOUR body and are focused on facing them head on. That determination will help you more than you realize down the road. I am doing the same thing! Way to go! Elizabeth~

Linda! Good job on you wt loss! I hear ya on the calories, and I hear ya on the nuts! I had to cut out the nuts because even though they are pretty good for you, they are ridiculously high in calories for a small amount. Hope you feel better with your bronchitis and flu bug. Keep up the excellent work! ~Sue

Good job! Keep it up and I am glad you are feeling better! I just had pnemonia 2 weeks ago and it kicked my butt! I was also very dehydrated. But I am feeling alot better now too! Love Amybee
