I'm a big - not as fat - century loser!

The scale is moving again!!! (What a concept exercise is!!!) My bmi is FINALLY in the 30s!!! I am also exactly at my half-way mark!!! As of this morning, I'm down 105 lbs!!! Sheryl In the Zoo

Hi Sheryl, Just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! You have come so far and you are doing such a awesome job!! I can not imagine how great you must feel!! I will be joining the Y as soon as I get my finances in order. Being that I am not working the whole summer I am leary to spend ANYTHING!!! Anyways, just wanted to tell you I am so happy for you... Keep up the good work!! Love, Kathy

Thank you so much Kathy! Are you getting excited for your upcoming surgery? I'm so thrilled that you're going to be doing this with me! As to the Y, they have scholarships. Tell them that because you're not working the summer due to school being out and they will waive all of your costs. We'll have such fun in the classes! Um, you do like water and swimming don't you???? Sheryl In the Zoo

Hi Sheryl, Yes I am soooooooooooooooo EXCITED about my upcoming date. I did however have a mini-meltdown the other night. I went to a group meeting with Joyce and she was talking about the liquid diet and I am terrified that I won't be able to do it.... Where is my faith?!?!!?!! But I got myself together and I'm gonna take it as it comes. But I am so glad to know that the Y has scholarships like that!!! I will be going up there this weekend sometime. I really wanna start working out before my surgery so I can get stronger and hopefully that will help in the healing process. And YES I LOVE to swim. It is actually my favorite type of exercise. I don't however LOVE my BODY in a bathing suit.... YET!!!!!! But I will surely come work out with you, that will be fun. Eugene Reyes offered to work out with me at the Y too... Talk to ya soon!! Love, Kathy

Hurray!!!!!!! I am so happy for you!! I too have a long haul to goal so I can relate how good it feels to hit the halfway mark! I finally am to where I have about 40-50 lbs left, but it feels like forever!! Keep excersizing and congrats! Wendy

Thanks Wendy! Yes, it feels like forever. But with each swimming lap, or everytime my alarms goes off at 5:30 a.m. to get to the Y, I just think of how good SLIM & fit is going to be! Your goal is just knocking on your door! Sheryl In the Zoo

Congratulations Sheryl!!!
