Hi April, It looks to me like you are doing wonderfully! You have lost 100 lbs!!! You will continue to lose weight and of course it will slow down as we go, but I have no doubt that you can lose this last 50 lbs. It may take another 6 months, but you will do it!!! God bless you and keep you, ~Andrea 223/142/123

hi andrea i will drink more water and work out more. but i feel good. and i just went to say thank you for blessing. have great day

Drink Lots of water I notice when I don't drink alot of water it slows down for me.So try uping your water intake and see if that works Good Luck

hello everyone that read my email i just went to say thank you to all. with the help you ladys and learning what to eat and drink and do diff and work out. i will be at my goal soon. godbless everyone.

Water, protein and exercise are the ways to go. Sounds like you are doing great though. It just naturally slows down about now. Good luck. Alice From Dallas 11/10/04 285/195/170

Hi April I think your doing great! I think the closer we get to the ideal weight for us the slower the weight loss becomes. If I could suggest anything it might be to actually up your intake slightly. I think your doing wonderful though, and you have to remember that we can continue to lose for up to 18mos. Take care and Congrats on the weightloss. KatherineL

Hi April OMG...you have lost 100 lbs girl!!! How can you not be happy with such an accomplishment? Think about it, when was the last time you lost so much weight in such a small amount of time? Have you tried carrying 20 bags of potatos? That's how much you have lost . I think we all tend to compare and tell ourselves we should be doing better when in reality we are doing just great . When you feel this way think about all you have accomplished so far. Think about all the things you can do now that you weren't able to weighing over 300 lbs. For me, when I get discouraged I remember when I couldn't fit into a seat at the movies or bend over to tie my shoes and now I am walking 4-5 miles a day and being able to sit here with my laptop on my "lap" typing this to you . You are doing awesome!! Keep up the good work!! Susan 11/24/04 378/274/190 -104 lbs. WooHoo
