What a rollercoaster ride!

Hi all, I'm just posting to say that I hit the 90 lb mark today. I'm very excited, though I have to say it's been an up and down ride! No matter what I say I'm going to do, I find myself comparing myself to others continuously - and usually come up lacking. But reading about those on here who are behind me in weight loss, level with me, and just flying by me actually can help. I just have to remind myself to focus on those who are on par with me or behind, because quite honestly, I go green with envy otherwise! ha ha Thanks for all the nice posts - it's very helpful.

Hi Melinda, Congrats on the 90! I should make you feel good because I have lost about 80lbs so I am behind you As long as the scale keeps moving in the right direction I am happy. My husband just had the surgery in May so I have learned not to compare myself with others because it would only depress me especially since he as already lost 50lbs. Good luck and you can always go and read my profile to feel better Teresa

Melinda, I'm right with ya....I hit 90 yesterday......It's a great feeling!

Hiya Melinda, Congratulations on your 90 lb weight loss so far!!!! Good for you! Its true you shouldnt focus on those who have lost more or closer to goal than you are because everyone responds at different rates and also, everyone started at different levels too. Just keep focused on doing what you know you need to do and it will come off. Have a wonderful time in France! God bless you and keep you ~Andrea
