WEIGHT LOSS UPDATES...
That is FANTASTIC. Congratulations.
I am 6 mos out. Had my 6month check up Friday the 30th. I have lost 118 pounds. I started out at 467 and am now at 345. My goal is 200 so I am just 16 pounds of losing 50 per cent of my goal weight loss.
I cannot believe how much better I feel, the things I can now do that I couldn't do before.
God is good.
Take care

Congrats on your weight loss! Keep up the great work. If you haven't yet, don't forget to take measurements so you can see how many inches you are losing. You will be amazed at those numbers too (especially during a stall with weight loss).

OMG... I am so excited! I see all these pounds just falling off of everyone and it just makes me want to try that much harder to get to my goal... lol! You guys are all truly an inspiration and I feel so welcome here... Everyone has really helped me through some troubled time with my drains, infection, not being able to eat and drink enough and get protien... guess if it weren't for you all, I would be back in the hospital! So, thanks so much for all of your words of encouragement and everyone is doing so great... I know that I will hit bumps in the road but I've decided that after years of being "home bound" - I'm making my big "DEBUT" in downtown nashville on the 4th fo July! This will be the first time I have gotten dressed up and gone out anywhere in years but I feel so good about myself and about where I am heading that I just have to be SEEN!!! LOL! And I know that if it weren't for all of you guys and all of the wonderful things that you say, not only to me but to each other and to others who post here, I would never be able to look at myself this way! I have finally learned to accept me - even in my quickly fading "fat" body!
Thanks again guys, in the short time I've been here, you all have really helped me to change my life and my feelings toward myself !!
