8 months out!!

Hi all! Yesterday was my 8 month anniversary and I can't believe it! It doesn't seem like I should be this far out. I am in a size 8 and a few bigger 6s right now...if I didn't have this extra tummy skin I would definitely be in a size 6 (darn it). I am only 5'1" and as of yesterday I am down to 140!! I can't believe it...that is 90 lbs lost! I still have 15 more pounds to go to get to my doctor's goal of 125....I can do it I know I can! The weight is coming off so much slower now and that stinks but hopefully this will help me be prepared with my exercise and eating once the "honeymoon" is over (18 months). Best of luck to all of you and I hope you have enjoyed this journey as much as I have!! I know there are some of us that have already reached goal and there are those of us that are getting there...WE CAN ALL DO THIS!! Have a great day! ~Rachel

Congratulations Rachel on such a great success. Today is my 8 month anniversary and I am down....123lbs! I am still working very hard to get to goal. And yes your are absolutely right...WE CAN ALL DO THIS! Lyric

Rachel, You are doing great! You WILL get to your goal! You are so close now! Just do what you know is right and it will come off! You look so beautiful! I still have about 39 pounds more to go to goal. This week is a skip around week, lose/gain/lose/gain...I have just learned to accept this as a part of my new life. For some reason, the pre-menstral water weight gain really shows up on me now!!! So I know I am gaining from the "PRE's" and in a week or so, things will level out again. Keep up the great work!!

You go girl!!! right on! You can and will get to goal too! Keep up the good work, Di~

Rachel. You are doing great. Remember I told you that we are about the same weight. I am 5ft6 and 145 lbs... Size 8. I have 10 more pds to get to "ideal goal.. Lets stay on this journey together ok girl..... : to us getting there ok......LORRAINE

Great goin' Rachel. You will get there I'm sure. Two more weeks and I'll be 8 mos post op. I'm down 98# -- several pounds below goal and I continue to lose -- more slowly, of course. My baggy size 8 blue jeans I got off last night without unzipping them -- I'm in 4 dresses and 4 or 6 blue jeans. Doesn't this feel great? Not in my wildest dreams????????????????? Keep at it!
