100 pounds lighter

I can't believe it, on 9/21/04 I weighed 288.5 pounds and now I am down to 188.5. I can't remember the last time I weighed this little maybe high school. I am feeling good and from the compliments from everyone including my surgeon, looking good. It hasn't been easy to reach here and I do have 18.5 more pounds to go for my personal goal, and lately life has become more hectic with my mom having had a stroke, but I have great support. And should I feel the slight urge to "stress eat", I have every high protein, low-fat, low caloric snack possible in my home. Anyway I am very proud of my accomplishment and I am determined to make my 170 pound goal 288.5/188.5/170

I have'nt had my surgery yet so hearing how wonderful people are doing gets me so pumped up I am sorry to hear about your mom My mom had a bad stroke 3 and1/2 yrs. ago and I know how hard it is on family .
