WOW oh WOW

I have been so busy crying about not getting into onederland I lost focus on the pounds I have lost. Not just from the WLS but from the point I started to take control of my own life again. As all of you know 315 was the last time I would get on the scale. I am sure I went above that. I don't know how far above because I would not weigh. Now I can't stay off the scale. Ok I have held your attention long enough. D R U M R O L L LLLLLLLLL I have lost 120lbs. YEAAAaaaaaa ME So when I whine about the slow down I will just remind my self 120lbs gone with the wind. Or where ever it went as long as it doesn't come back

Wonderful!! So important to focus on the positives and not just what if??? This is such a miracle to be able to change in such a positive way.

You GO Petty!!

Dear Petty, You have done wonderfully!! Congratulations! I wish I had done so well. I am down about 83 lb. as of today. I started at 304... The scale is finally moving again after a six week stall! You are an inspiration to us all. Have a great day! HUGS, Pat

Congrats Petty!!! 120 lbs is so awesome - I am pretty sure you are leading our group - at least one of the leaders - in total weight loss! And you are always upbeat and inspiring - thanks for posting! Pat, don't get discouraged (easier said than done, I know!). I had a 6 week stall in April - May at 195 and then have dropped 20 lbs in about 6 weeks since it broke. There's no rhyme or reason to some of this, I swear. Keep eating!!! We all have a tendency to slow down on our eating because it seems counterintuitive to eat more when we're not losing, but I swear it helps to eat your several small meals a day. And 83 lbs is nothing to shake a stick at (don't know what that means exactly - my grandmother used to always say that!). Anyway, be glad you have lost more than 1/4 of yourself and will continue to be successful. Yeah us! Everyone is doing great - keep it up! Lisa
