Another accomplishment

I have had quite a week already, guys and really needed something to cheer me on today. Well, I just weighed myself and I am officially under 40 BMI! Woo Hoo! Many of you know I started my journey last June 2nd at 432lb (63 BMI) and today I am 277 (-155lb). Since I'm very tall (5'10), my first goal is 200lb, then I'll shoot for 180 as a stretch goal and if I can qualify for PS, I'll aim for 160. Anyway, things are going well on the weightloss front and I am still in shock that I have lost 18lbs since our last Meet and Greet on Jan 21st and I'm 8 months out...it's weird. Anyway, have a great day and I'll talk to you all soon. Amy

Congratulations on your weight loss. Now, I must ask, What did you do for Valentines since we all gave you suggestions?

Martha, I wish I could tell you things were wonderful, but they weren't. I went to his place and we watched "Big Fish". He was distant, I pushed the issue and eventually left feeling very uncomfortable like I had displayed all my insecurities. I wish I could have just kept my big mouth shut, but no, I had to know why he wasn't being his normal self. To be honest, I may have blown it, but I cant cry over it. I guess it's better to find these things out early rather than later. Anyway, I have coffee plans with a couple other guys lined up, so we'll see... To be honest, maybe it is too soon for me to do more than just coffee since I have so much to digest emotionally since surgery, but I do know I am ready to take more risks than I was before surgery. I still believe: Everything happens for good reason. Thanks for asking. Amy

YaY!!!!!!!! I am so happy for you Amy, and congrats on this AMAZING accomplishment! Keep up the good work and keep us posted! That is just wonderful news!! -Phoenix -14lbs...yay!

Way to go Amy. It is so great to hear you are losing so much. Sounds like you will be at goal sooner than you thought. Amy, as far as the guy. I, too, think everything happens for a reason. I do believe, also, that you may be right about the emotional thing. don't beat yourself up too much about this first thing with this guy. It may take some time for you to be comfortable enough to relax in these situations. Heck, dating is complicated enough without extra issues that people like us have. Just be yourself and there will be plenty enough time. Coffee dates may be great for a while to "get your feet wet". Keep up the good work and I am sure with your personality, you will find plenty of gentlemen that want to spend time with you. Have a great day. Carol

That is awesome news!!! I am sorry to hear about your V-Day, things will work out Tracey

Congratulations on reaching yet another goal!! That's terrific!!! As for the guy, maybe he's just not that into you. I say that because of the book with the same title. It's no reflection on you, so just forget him and move on! You'll find Mr. Wow sometime, but it just wasn't this guy. Jan

Congrats Amy, u'r awesome and I'm very proud of you.

just wanted to say hello, and the tell you are doing great......keep the great job up.
