HIT MY GOAL!!!!!

Yipee I met my goal and went 1 pound under this week!!! I am so very very happy. My heaviest was 350 surgery 326 on July 27th 2005, and this week 2007 I hit the 150 mark and then -1!!! I just had to celebrate!! Love you all. Rita

Congratulations Rita!!! Reading about someone in the 'neighborhood' of what I am having such great success is uplifting for me. Take care and keep up the good work! Ellen

WOW!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations! That must feel so awesome! I'll be joining you in a year or so!

Rita- I am 8 days post op and HUNGRY....LOL. It is such an inspiration to watch you achieve your goal!!! Great work!!! Take time to enjoy your hard earned sucess and nedd found fitness! You make us proud! Sheila at the Beach

Rita, You don't know me but I feel as though I know you. When you were in the beginning stages of your journey I would come on this site and read all about you, Clytie, Jessica, and so many others that aren't on the boards very much anymore. You all have been such a great inspiration to me and I am so happy for you!!! I hope all the others are doing as great as you are. I started my journey in December and am just waiting to finish up all my pre-op stuff this month then hopefully I will be on the losing side in another couple of months. Keep up the good work and hopefully I will be making a post like yours in a little over a year from now! Congratulations!!!! Hugs, Donna

Wow, congratulations and thanks for the inspiration! Ethel

WAY TO GO RITA..........I am so happy for you..... Sounds like you are doing wonderful. Of course I wont be able to make it to the meeting Wednesday since I am no longer living there but I hope everyone has a great night..Tell everyone I said hello......... Tina

Tina where are you living?? I didn't know you moved. Catch me up on what has been going on. How are you doing with your weight?? I want to hear from you, Rita

WOWWOWOWOW! Just doing my monthly boards check, and there you are! You and I started together, then I went into hibernation. Tell me how you broke that plateau with 50 pounds still to lose? I don't want to "diet", but I am going to have to... Still needing your guidance and support! CONGRATSCONGRATSCONGRATS! Frances

Francis, I went back to basics....Protein and water, that is all I had for 3 days to get all the carbs out of my system, then started on soft protein rich foods. And then back on food again. But I don't crave the carbs now. That made all the difference in the world for me. You see I crave carbs. If I eat just one, then it sets my body and mind into crave mode. Are you going to be at the meeting on Monday?? I sure hope so, I would love to see you. Love, Rita
