Century Club!

Just had to post this ... I just got back from my PCP's office and I'm officially down 100 lbs today! Wow!!! I'm definitely a happy camper today! Myra 442/430/341/150 hw/sw/cw/gw

Congratulations!!!

Thats awesome! Great Job! lesa

Hey Girl, Soooo proud of you! 100 pounds gone forever! I bet you amazed the Doctor and office staff! WONDERFUL! I bet that was one of the sweetest moments and very encouraging to loose more. I know it would me! Just know that I'm doing the happy dance for you this morning and to tell you that you just keep going you can make your goal weight! I know you can and I am in your corner... you can do it! (Now get to the gym... hee hee ) Take Care and you are doing a wonderful job on getting healthier and happier! Ardie

Ardelle, thanks so much for your kind words!!! It *WAS* made an even greater moment because yesterday was the *FIRST* time I've been able to weigh on my PCP's scales (have been beyond weight limit before). No more going to the local Dialysis Center to weigh on their wheelchair scales! It certainly goes a long way to making a person feel alot more "normal" when they can step up on the same scales everyone else uses ... even if my weight is at the top of the limit right now, I'm happy. thanks again, Myra

Myra, Oh how cool! I bet that did wonders on your "heart" emotions.... I just love those moments when the weightloss journey has been worth it and a little breathless moment comes our way and just encourages the socks off of you... what a sweet moment! I know what you mean about feeling "Normal". It was a great day for me when I could step on my PCP's scale after years of being way over her scales weight limit. In ways it is kind of a defining moment... a small nonverbal scream that said "I am taking back the control of my life and am going to LIVE! You watch, you listen, and we'll both cheer together." And you know what? My PCP and her Assistant have been the best cheerleaders you ever would want to have in your corner... I have been blessed with a few very key people who have been fabulous! So do you wanna race to see who gets the next 100 pounds off first! Just kidding... good luck with the rest of your weight loss goals. I know you'll get there with flying colors! Ardie

Ardelle, Seems we have a lot of thoughts in common. I relate to just everything you've said! I still have soooooooooooooooooo much left to lose, but that's just not what I'm gonna concentrate on ... little goals at a time, you know? My next goal is to weigh under 300 pounds, and today I'm only 38 pounds away from that. After that ... well ... another small goal. I know if I do it that way, I'll make it. What you said about stepping on those scales being a "defining moment" is so true ... it *was* an "I'm taking back control of my life"-thing for me! Well said!!! And Thanks!!! All good wishes and prayers your way, from Missouri Myra
