3 months out visit..pokey pokey pokey

HEY Gangerooners!

YEEEE HAWWWWWWWW!  I had my 3 months-out visit today at the doc's.  Since he was tied up at the hosptial, I saw the nurse, Marcy.   I'm down 56 lbs, just as my awesome scale told me I am.  POKEY POKEY POKEY...got a 1cc fill in my port!  Marcy is a port poker!    I spoke to Marcy about my "goal" after I was weighed.  I know when I saw the doc 6 weeks ago he thought my goal was too high.  It WAS 138.  As of today, it's 155.  Marcy pulled out the "insurance" paperwork for weight/height/frame.  Because I have a large frame they are suggesting the 155!  WOWSERS!  I can do this!  I mean, I knew I could fight to get 138 by next May 8th for my Surgiversary, but 155?  I will definitely hit this...maybe it will be my Christmas prezzie to myself!  I continue to be very disciplined about what I eat.  No pasta, pizza, wings, sushi, soda or foods I know I LOVE-D.  Someday I will have all of them, but not yet.  I eat loads of chicken, fish, cottage cheese and ricotta.  My veggies and fruit are still coming last, if I have room.   I'm drinking 2 - 3 liters of water with Crystal Light a day. (trying to drink straigh****er, too, but it has to be super cold). I hope to get back to CURVES next week.  I am transferring my account to my hometown CURVES.  After work I'll feed my doggie, let her out, change and scoot over there for 30 minutes!  Had to add new pics to my MOVING RIGHT ALONG folder... Love you guys!  xoxo Muah

I'm dropping by to say that I'm so proud of you, Kiddo! It's all good news. 155 lbs. is definitely attainable and although I never saw you, in my opinion would be an ideal weight for you.(From your pictures.) Bless you Cherie, on this journey. You are doing fantastic. Sincerely~~ Diane
