bmi 23.9, weight 139

even the longest stalls are eventually broken ...i know that now only 24lbs to personal goal, 14lbs to the century club, 5lbs below dr.goal in less than 10months. i only lost 86lbs but still, can't complain

OK --you weigh 139? Dude- that is stupendous! ONLY 86 lbs - that is great and amazing and when was the last time you lost 86 lbs in 10 months. When was the last time you were this low of a weight.......i would not complain either! Keep up the good work! 115 is your personal goal......wow....i am not sure i weighed 115 in gradeschool (lol) good for you ! Have a great week Natalie!

Thanks, Dawn, you are so sweet!!! The last time I lost 86lbs was, of course, never (if you don't count a perpetual viscious cycle of loose 10, gain back 20 The last time I was 139 was a little more than 4 years ago. The last time I was 115 as an adult was never but it's always been my goal . The closest I've come was 118 and that was 12 years ago--i was 20

You can do it! ok i was reading below where you responded to Angela--are you saying that you are walking/running 8-9 miles PER DAY? I am up to 3 and so proud --8 or 9 miles is amazing!

yeah, but 95% of it is just walking briskly,--running is too hard on my ankles. also, i am not able to do it every single day depending on my schedule. i was able to do anywhere from 8 to 9.7 miles 5 days in a row but yesterday only did 3.9 (wasn't feeling well for some reason.) today i did 3.4 in the morning and may or may not be able to do some at night depending on what time i get home

I am not worthy ! Now that is a new goal i can have...5, 6, 7, 8 ....i thought 3 was the end all! ha ha ha

i think 3 is excellent. i didn't exercise at all until about 2 months ago. i'm taking some time off work so i have unusual amount on time on my hands

Natalie, That is great!! I have 15 pounds left to goal and slowly plugging away. My current weigh-in for my surgi-versary was good, I lost more weight this month than I did last but still in the 140s and I so want to be in the 130s. I have started back with my workouts and hoping that will get me started again. Yes, long stalls can be broken with commitment and hard work! What did you do??? Angela

Angela, Thanks. I really increased my exercise (from walking 3-4miles/day) to 8-9miles, which must have built muscle tissue in my legs. At first, my weight actually went up by 4lbs but now it's down 6. I also have been trying to keep my calories under 1200, really upped fiber intake (i was already getting enough protein.) Oh yeah, I've also been "water-loading" like crazy

Cngratulations on the perseverance, Natalie! What a neat, tiny little bmi. You have to be very, very proud of your accomplishments. Keep up all your great work!!! Molly
