Thanks Annie. You have done a wonderful job yourself.

This weight loss thing is good. I think I will go do Old Navy today and see if they have anything on sale. I haven't been there for awhile. I have been just about everywhere else. I love sales. I cannot afford to buy anything full price when I grow out /under of it so quickly.

It is nice to have a 1 in front of your weight. Now I can't wait until I have something lower than a 9 for the second number.

Yay Sandra! I'm so happy for you! I know you have had some rough spots, especially at first, but you are doing amazing! I remember when I was trying to get into onederland, and my body fought me for weeks, hovering right in that 200 - 201 range. I was soooo ready to have a number with a 1 in front of it, and it finally happened. Now, I'm at 170, and i can't even believe it myself! I have lost 77 lbs, and only have 25 more to go before I'm at my goal (and I'm already past the goal Dr. Miles had for me!). We are all doing great, and I'm glad that we can come to this site and keep encouraging each other to push ourselves to get there and then to stay there and never go back to where we were!

Keep it up!

He does set high goals for us. I think that way we are not disappointed. He said that he thought that I would stay around the 200 mark or slightly below. I am ever so slightly below now and it has only been 6 months. By a year or so I hope to be much lower. A realistic goal for me I think is 145. I would love to be lower. I am 5'3" so I can weigh less without looking too thin.
170 is fabulous. I bet you look terrific. I do remember you fussing about having a hard time getting past the 200 lb mark. I had a long stall around 212. I am always having stalls. They get so frustrating but the scales does move and I feel great. You must too. Talk with you soon and take care.
