One-Der-Land...I finally busted my plateau...yipeeeee!

Hey all: After almost a MONTH @ 200-205 I have dropped down to (drum roll please....) 197.  yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!  I waited 3 days to be sure I was really seeing those numbers.  They have held and I am so happy. I stayed true to my diet & kept working out...I was rewarded too.  It feels great to be losing again but it feels even better that I did not give up!  *I had put away my scale for 2 weeks too* I knew it would happen.  I had dropped another pant size but that darn scale just wouldn't move.  Now it has. whew. Happy Thursday!  hugs, Lisa

 Lisa!!!      That is soooo awesome!   Betcha feel great too. I am right on your tail.   Hanging on at 200 - but I will hopefully follow you.  Enjoy one-der-land!!!!!

Kelly:  Thank you.  Funny thing I thought I would be so overjoyed at being under the big 2 but really I'm kinda freaked out.  It's a goal I thought I would never really see.  And to think there is only 40 more to go.  Freaks me out even more.  Scared of getting there, scared of not getting there.  I think crossing that 200 line is a big one. Hope you cross it soon then you can let me know if I'm just a bid ol scaredy cat or if it freaks you out too! Take that dog for a walk and that should get you into one-derland!  Mari says "woof!" hugs, Lisa

Weigh to go!!  Did you make an offering to the Clothes Gods?  Knowing for sure you were done with your weightloss...("This WLS stuff works for everyone else...But it won't fully work for me")You go and buy some really nice clothes.  It's the sure fire way to end those stalls and end up with clothes that are useless!!  You go girl.  Enjoy the ride.  Brian

Brian:  Funny you should post that.  I didn't spend a lot of money but I bought some work clothes (at Ross) since I figured I'd be hanging out at this weight awhile...now the pants are all baggy!  At least the tops will all be fine.  Luckily the tops are longer...they will just hide my saggy pants because I'm not spending any more $ until I get closer to my goal!  I'm just 40 lbs. away.  Freaks me out a bit. Brian you are always such a great source of encouragement (and humor).  Thank you!  Lisa

That is super awesome Lisa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am really happy for you! Keep up all the hard work!!!!  

Thanks Janine!  It feels great...and a little scary too.  Now I'm thinking...wow, I think I am going to reach my goal.  This really is something I can (and will) do!  I think because the idea of reaching goal is so adstract at the beginning of the journey? hmmm. They should fix our heads when they fix our stomachs! Happy Friday!  Lisa

Congratulations Lisa!!! I am so proud of you!!!
