8 months out from surgery Today I finally hit the100 pound loss mark! These last 10 pounds have taken 5 weeks to get off. My goal from the beginning was to lose 100 pounds. My new goal will be to get rid of another 20 pounds. I'm thrilled to have lost 100 pounds and if and when I do get the extra 20 pounds off it will just be the icing on the cake! With this amount of weight loss.. I have been able to go down to 1/2 of my dose on my heart medicines. My cardiologist is just as thrilled as I am. My feet and knee's no longer hurt. My legs no longer retain water. I can get on the floor with my grandchildren and still get back up without help.
I can sit in a booth instead of having to ask for a table.
I use to HATE shopping and now it's a lot of fun. I have went from a W 28/30 to a W18 in jeans. Oh how I love my new life!
Thanks to you all that have givimg me some really great advice when I needed it. On the lighter side.. Undergarments I have dropped 6 sizes Before on laundry day it went like this....Undergarment..flip..flip..flip..flip..flip..flip.. Now its just flip..flip..flip and in the dresser drawer they go. lol

Great job Cheryl! I know how close you were at the meeting, you must have taken Pam's advice on eating even though you didn't have a bad journal. See you next month (I hope) It's only a few day's from my revision RNY surgery on the 18th. You'll lose that 20 in no time the way your going.

Thanks Terri, I think the race we did last Sunday helped out a lot! I was so nervous about doing the race. It was my first race. We had a great time.
GL to you on the revision RNY on the 18th. I'm sure you will do just great!
Keep us posted on how your doing. And if you need anything e-mail me and I will try to help you out.

YAY CHERYL!!!
I'm not sure I'll hit 100 pounds. I'm maintaining but not losing. I started the five day pouch test today and have only had liquids so far. I sure hope I can stick with it. My will power isn't so good these days.
I had to laugh at your flip folding analogy. I could actually picture it. I only flip flip flip now as well. :)
Isn't it nice to know that you actually did something to improve your health and were successful? It's a great feeling I know.
