Tons more money for me and a great step up in the project management world. yay! So once I get my first paycheck... I'm hitting the shops!! Life couldn't be better for me right now. Thanks for all your support!!! you guys rock! Kristen* 327/227/150ish at 5'4

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! Kelli

Congrats, Kristen! That's wonderful. I can't even imagine, losing 100 pounds. I guess I will have to wait, until I'm on the losing side. That's great news, about your new job. It won't be long and you will be that size 2, at the Deli. LOL! Post some new pics, in your spare time. Hmm~~~ Keep up the good work. What brand was that, choc. mint protein drink, you liked so much? Thanks, Nancy

SciFit makes the "cool chocolate mint". with a tablespoon of SF/FF pudding mix, a few ice cubes, milk - it was nearly as good as a mint chocolate chip frappucino! and thank you! also, if you want the rest of my protein shakes you can have them. I've got a target bag with about 10 samples from wlssupplies.com and 3 or 4 from vitalady. i just never got very adventurous with my shakes. found 2 i liked and stuck to them! i can meet you somewhere, or drop them off, whatever is easiest - if you want them, that is! kristen*

That, would be great! I appreciate the offer. E-mail me, and we can meet. Whatever is easiest for you. My scedule is very flexible. Nancy

CELEBRATION TIME!!!!!! I'm so happy for you. Keep it up Al

congratulations to you KRISTEN: How the did you lose that much so fast???? Wow you are a fast looser..... Whats the secret??? Are you eating just three meals a day, or mini meals through out the day? I know you excersise a lot...I guess thats key.....Can you take back the clothes you bought? Also, Congrats on your new job....and more$$$$$$$$ that always help...lololol..especially for a new wardrobe.....Dont forget to get some pics up for us to see....you must be lookin......really good....... carolb

i have no idea why i've lost so fast. maybe it's because i haven't had any issues with eating? maybe it's because my bmi was so high [56.1] ?maybe it's because i put a lot of effort into planning what i eat now. i know i have to eat X amount, so i put that much onto my plate. I find when I don't do that, i eat mindlessly and that can't be good. lol i know myself, and that i'm going to want to snack.. so i try to make those snacks healthy. so i eat 2 big meals [lunch and dinner], and leave enough calorie room so i can have a piece of toast with peanut butter, or a couple spoonfulls of sunflower seeds or a peach- i actually ate 2 and a half nectarines today. lol. i try to eat around 800 calories, but if it's more or less, i don't stress too much. i really don't eat anything except protein, lots of veggies/fruit and maybe a piece of whole grain bread every once in a while. i love the low carb multigrain at Atlanta Bread - and Wonder just came out with a Whole Grain White bread that works really well for me. i'm trying really hard to eat more good carbs.. but i just don't want them - so it's been hard! i really don't know what good carbs are, other than whole grain bread.. so i just stick to that. lol i do exercise, but i haven't joined a gym yet. i just play with my dog a lot harder than i ever have. she's exhausted - which makes her bark less - so it's a win-win-win situation no matter how you look at it. i take her on a lot of walks now, play too much frisbee, run and chase her around... i have to join a gym now because the weather's getting icky and she won't go outside. lol i'll take some pictures next week for my 5 month anniversary. Hopefully I'll have some better fitting clothes!! lol

good for you. Congrats on the weight loss and the new job!

That is great! You did it so fast. I just biked all over Nantucket this week. My rear is killing me, but is was fun. Starting the gym this week. Hopefully all the activity will help me drop it as fast as you! Take care, Kenny
