Good morning everyone,

I am sooooo happy and exicted this morning.

I got on the scale and I am under 200lbs!!! What a fantastic feeling this is. I am down 110 lbs in just over 6 months.

I have less than 30 pounds to go. Hard to believe that it was just 6 months ago that I was limping around with a cane. Now I am working out at the gym 5 days a week. It is crazy great!!!

I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel.

This is a good day!!!

Welcome to ONEderland friend!!! UNBELIEVABLE work!! And you are showing everyone just what "successing" really and truly is!

Enjoy your workout!

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses.

Oh - and there is no "end of the tunnel" just a different road through successing :)

Hi Pam and thank you.

My friends tease me because I am very strict. I stay very focused and don't make any bad choices. It's just not an option. I am extremely focused on reaching my goal.

I know the biggest challenge will be after I reach goal, learning to maintain the weight. I am banking on all the wisdom that you and people on the boards have. I see a nutrionalist every month and I am hoping that also keeps me course.

The friends I have met along this journey are awesome and there is so much love and support.

It's very difficult, not to be happy!!

Thanks Pam.
Geoff

what a wonderful feeling i know.
Stay strick really I mean it. You will need that when it comes time to maintain.
i am pretty strict about some things and i am struggling with some regain which kind of happens to most of us to a point. But this really is the time to develop those habits you will need to keep the weight off,. the honey moon period really does end

Thanks, I do know that. I have been down several times before with my weight. I actually used to be a weigh****cher's leader. I know the honeymoon ends and how difficult the struggle to maintain can be. The longest I have ever kept off my weight was 14 years.

I am sooooo determined that this will be the last time. I just hope I get lucky and that the honeymoon lasts a bit longer.
