I too am waiting for the day I can say down 100lbs. I feel great, but still have a long way to go. It's definetly slow'd down, and I am scared the honeymoon is over....started @306, am down to 213,but Dr.'s goal is 179....personal goal 160. I just wonder if I can really actually get there. It seems unreal.

How wonderful. Being able to walk with out so much pain is one of the best things in life. Congratulations. And the new clothes, what a treat. You must feel ssssoooo good. Barbara

hi there i was oct 21 im 58 was 283 now 204 not in the -79 . Sometimes i way a pound or more depending which is frustrating. So I am not in the century club either. But I never dreamed id loose this much weight soo quickly. Actually when i do get to the century mark i too will consider myself at goal Actually if i didnt loose any more i still would have done it again in a heartbeat. I have my life back and my self confidence. And like the cartoon character from the shampoo (with the jetsons on it and the flintstons) I feel pretty...imagine that 4 mouths ago me and pretty didnt enter my mind in the same day let alone thought or sentence. So relax enjoy the ride and give it up for us all!!!!! kindest regards deborah gale

I think my favorite moment has been going shopping last Friday at Macy's and buying an outfit in the "regular" sizes and actually choosing between what looked cute instead of what would just cover up the worst parts. I also went to Disneyland last week and never got tired of walking and no blisters on my feet which was a problem for me in the past .
