Yippee!

Yesterday was my 5th month anniversary and I was so happy to be at minus 85 lbs. Well, guess what?! This morning, as I start out a new month....I'm at -88 lbs. I'd been on a stall for over a week but lost 3 lbs. to get to that -85 just the two days before my anniversary....so I figured I'd probably have a few more standstill days now. I couldn't believe it when I stepped on the scale this a.m.! I love getting a good start to this new month. My goal for my 6th month is to loose 10 lbs (trying to be realistic here and not set myself up for disappointment), but if I could loose 15, I will hit the century mark for my 6th anniversary. I did loose 15 in month 5 so it is do-able.....and now I am super motivated, though I honestly don't think there is that much more I could be doing to make it happen.......I try to eat right every day the way it is and I walk 2-6 miles a day. The other bonus is that this puts me in the 220's (something I haven't seen in about 15 yrs.) and it also puts my BMI below 35. What a good day this is!!!! You never know when your body and the scale are going to surprise you! Jenni -88!! 315/227/180 (dr's)/ 165 (mine) 5'8" with BIG bones!

Jenni, Congradulations to you . You have done well. I was so happy when I saw the 199 mark. I am now weighing 160 pds from 245 pds. I have lost 85 pds. The scale seems to move slower but that is ok for me. I am soon there wohooooooooooo. YES YOUR BODY DOES SURPRISE YOU. IS WHAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING GIRL CONGRADS AGAIN .........LORRAINE

AWESOME!!!! Don't give up hope quite yet...you might get the 15 lbs loss--you wait and see!! Try jogging part of your walk....even a 1/4 mile if possible...heck start out with 1/10th it will probably boost your loss!

Congratulations Jennie. I had surgery 12/15/03. Isn't it great to wake up and not fear getting on the scales -- even for those plateus!
