I'M SHOUTING!
Hi Everyone! I had my three month check up and both, the dietician and Dr. Jones were very pleased with the progress that I have been blessed with. Dr. Jones says that I should go by my top weight of 465 pounds as my official starting weight, because I actually weighed that and have had to loose from that point. So, as of today, I have been blessed with loosing 102 pounds in twelve weeks! THANK YOU, JESUS, FOR THIS MIRACLE! Dr. Jones thinks that I will be down to 300 pounds by the time I go back to her in three months for my six month check up. In the last six weeks, I have averaged: 752 Calories a day; 28 grams of Fat a day; 54 grams of Carbs a day; 67 grams of Protein a day, and 60 -72 oz of liquid a day. They said I could now try carbonated drinks if I want to; I can now have raw vegetables and salad; I can now add another ounce to each meal if I want to. Dr. Jones would prefer that I keep the ounces to the three so as to not slow down the progress that is being accomplished. I have been blessed with loosing almost 20 pounds, just since Christmas, and I believe the Lord is blessing the physical activity that I have been trying to do each day. I am really enjoying playing racquetball at the youth center. I can play it by myself and it really is a cardio workout. It is wonderful to find something that you really enjoy doing so much that you don't think of it as exercising! I sure didn't feel this good on the way UP at 363! Another praise is that I was able to drive all the way to Carmel and back!!! Hallelujah! Thank You, Lord!
And thank each and every one of YOU for your encouragement and love! Love you all!

Cynthia,
That's such good news! I'm very proud of you and so happy for you. Down 102 pounds
What are the things you've been wanting to have now that you have a few more options? Are you craving salad? I couldn't wait for salad, hardly. I was able to have little bits of salad at 9 weeks.
How do you play racquetball by yourself? I never played it, so I might be confused. Is that the one where you hit the ball against the wall and hit it back again? Do you have to run to play it?
Keep up the good work!

Cindy..
Congrats on all your success!!! It is such a wonderful feeling to lose weight and find more energy. A friend and I were discussing the other day how that when you gain weight you feel terrible...but even losing back to a weight you feel incredible...I am so glad it wasn't the opposite I may never have wanted to lose the weight.
God Bless!!

WOW you are doing so great! Your progress, and your success, are a testament to the power of this incredible tool. We are all so fortunate to be living in a time when this is available to us. I just imagine where you'll be and how you'll be feeling a year from now - you'll probably be giving racquetball lessons!
Great accomplishment. Warmest congratulations to you, Cindy!
