NICK'S LOSING & MY 1st BIG GOAL ACCOMPLISHED

NICK HAS BEEN WATCHING HIS DIET BETTER FOR THE SAKE OF THE DIABETES ... &, BECAUSE I'M GETTING CLOSER TO PASSING HIS WEIGHT, I THINK! HIS HIGHEST EVER WAS 221 & WHEN WE MET IN 2000, HE WAS 210 BUT LATELY HE'S BEEN STAYING AT AROUND 205. WELL, AS OF TODAY, HE IS 196, WHICH IS A TOTAL LOSS OF 25 #s & A 9 # LOSS SINCE HE BEGAN THIS LAST COUPLE WEEKS. YOU CAN REALLY SEE IT IN HIS TUMMY ... I CAN GET MY ARMS AROUND HIM NOW! I HIT MY 1st MAJOR GOAL TODAY ... I'VE LOST 50 #s IN 69 DAYS & AM OUT OF THE 230s FOREVER. THAT'S JUST UNDER 3/4 OF A # AVERAGE PER DAY ... THANK YOU WLS!!!! NICK SAYS, "LET'S TAKE YOUR COMPARISON PICS FOR YOUR PROFILE", SO WE'LL BE DOING THAT SOON. BEFORE WLS, MY GREATEST LOSS WAS ABOUT 65 - 70 #s & THAT TOOK ME A WHOLE YEAR TO GET THAT MUCH OFF ... A WHOLE YEAR!!!!! MY NEXT BIG GOAL IS TO BE IN "ONE-DERLAND" (YEAH, LIKE "WONDERLAND" ) ... UNDER 200 & IN THE 100s & HEADING DOWN, DOWN, DOWN! I'M A HAPPY CAMPER & SO IS MY NICK! GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK SW 279.80 CW 229.80 LOSS 50.00 GOAL 125 - 118

That's awesome for both of you, congratulations!!! It's got to be a little easier having someone losing along with you, you're both doing great!!! Rebecca

YEH, IT'S FUN CUZ NOW WE BOTH WEIGH IN THE MORNING & I POST ALL OUR STATS ON OUR SPREADSHEETS ... KEEPS US FOCUSED & KEEPS IT FUN. SILLY MAN ... HE DIDN'T GET SERIOUS ABOU****CHING HIS FOODS & LOSING SOME WEIGHT UNTIL I STARTED TO REALLY LOSE SOME WEIGHT, THEN THAT MALE COMPETITIVENESS KICKED IN. I JUST HAD TO LAUGH. ANYTHING FOR BETTER HEALTH ... HE WANTS TO GET DOWN INTO THE 180 RANGE & I'M HOPING THAT WE SEE A REAL CHANGE IN HIS SUGAR NUMBERS IN REGARDS TO THE DIABETES. THEY'VE BECOME STEADIER SINCE HE'S BEEN CUTTING THE WHITE CARBS MORE. SO, I'M LOOKING FOR HIS NUMBERS TO COME DOWN! GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

congrats, you and nick are both making excellent headway! Keep it up, and i'll meet you in 1derland...i'm 200 right now.. so i'm waiting anxiously..

GEEZZZZ, THAT'S AN EXCITING STEP ... IN THE 100s ... LET ME HOLD ON TO YOUR SHIRT TAIL ... I STILL HAVE ABOUT 29 #s TO GO. WHEN I GET TO 202, THAT WILL BE THE WEIGHT I MET NICK AT IN MARCH 2000, ALMOST 6 YEARS AGO. WHEN I HIT THE 1DERLAND, IT'S ALL GRAVEY FOR NICK & I FROM THERE. THE LOWEST I'VE BEEN IN MEMORY WAS 172 IN 1996, OH MY GOSH ... A DECADE AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP ON SUCCESS AFTER SUCCESS SO I CAN CHASE YOU RIGHT INTO A SIZE 10!!!!!!!!!! BLESSINGS FOR STEADY WEIGHT LOSS & IMPROVED HEALTH DAWN & NICK

thanks---i've updated my profile with new pics.... hang on to my shirt tails? No problem....I'm a running!

GREAT PICS ... YOU ARE CHANGING SO MUCH ... THINNER NECK & FACE, & YOUR ENTIRE BODY HAS COMPLETELY SHRUNK ... A MINI VERSION OF YOUR "OLD" SELF! I'M SHAPED VERY SIMILAR TO YOU. WHEN NICK TOOK MY BEFORE PICS & I ACTUALLY LOOKED AT THEM, I WAS TOTALLY SHOCKED AT HOW UNBELIEVABLY BIG I WAS. LIVING IN A FAT BODY IS ONE THING, YOU DON'T GET THE WHOLE PICTURE AT ONCE. MY HOSPITAL PICS ARE HORRENDOUS BECAUSE I GAINED 11 #s OF FLUID IN 1 1/2 DAYS WITH A SLEEPY BLADDER. IT TOOK 7 DAYS TO LOSE THOSE 11 #s. SO, I VOWED, "NO PICTURES UNTIL I HAD "SMALLER" PICS AS A COMPARISON. NOW THAT I'M 50 #s LIGHTER, NICK IS GOING TO TAKE MY COMPARISON PICS & I'LL GET ALL OF THEM POSTED ON MY PROFILE. YOU'RE MUCH BRAVER THAN I AM PUTTING YOUR PICS UP RIGHT AWAY!!!!! LOOKIN' GREAT THERE, MS HEATHER ... GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK
