Something to work toward!

Hello everyone! I got a really nice compliment last night. One from my friend Richard, a man who does not toss out compliments easily. He said that I look better now than I ever have! I have known him for 15 years. He also said that when I reach goal weight that he will take me shopping and buy me a couple of "ensembles" shoes or boots and all! I told him I will hold him to it! So, now I have something to work towards. Hope you are all doing well! I have now lost 75 pounds, I went on a sort of liquid diet to get the scale moving again and lost 3 pounds in one night! I drink Carb countdown chocolate milk and only eat beef jerky. So we will see how this works out! Tracy 251/176/125

Can I come too? The dry cleaning lady told me yesterday, when I went to pick up the drycleaning, that she thought my hubby had a new woman because the clothes are so much smaller (he ususally drops off and picks up the drycleaning) Jackie

Hi Jackie, Thats a WOW moment! How are you doing? I do not see you post much anymore. How is the weight loss? I'd love to hear back from you. Tracy

Hi there Tracy, I am glad to see your post. I thought maybe you were sick,,,, glad to see you are ok There are some people that do not give out compliments. I know many. That is great for him to say that,and YES HOLD HIM TO IT. Have a good day. LORRAINE

Tracy: I have been doing a semi-liquid diet as well to get those scales moving. I was doing a protein shake for b'fast, a small regular lunch, and a shake for dinner as well and exercising. I am a bit more lenient about food on the weekends, but it has worked. In 20 days I have lost 12 pounds, and last month I only lost 6 the whole month. I have to admit that doing this has really helped me because now when I do eat real food, I am back to eating very small portions again and feeling full. I have one month until I go back to my surgeon for my 6 mo. appt., although it will actually be 6 1/2 months, and I would like to show a 100 pound loss based on the weight he has in his files which was what I weighed when the drain tube was removed (Dec 15) (278). So, I have a month to lose 19 pounds. It might not happen, but it is something to work toward. Christy

Aren't compliments the best! Just when I'm starting to feel down, someone will say something and it feels so good! Don't you just love it when someone who has known you for a long time doesn't recognize you? Deb
