100 pounds?!?!

Wow, I got on the scale this morning and it read 216.5.  That's a hundred pound loss from my biggest last summer! 

I have been getting frustrated recently that the scale is moving so much more slowly (in my mind).  Then, when changing my Health Tracker weight, I checked my weight for 3/1/11, and it was 232.5.  So, I've lost 16 pounds this month.  Not too shabby.  And I've felt like I haven't lost anything.

Crazy mindf*k going on...Trying to keep my head above water through it all.

Excellent job Chad. 

Keep up the great work.

Dude that it awesome! Im sure there are all sorts of mind games that go on with thinking you arent losing weight or that you sometimes dont lose weight but your size gets smaller.

I hope I can do as well as you have done!

Great job Chad. 

We forget sometimes to do the math, 16# a month X 12 months = 192#.  So when some complain about a 3# loss in a week, that is actually on track for 156 in a year.  It is great to see all of the success from you guys  keep it up!

I tell people that the mental side of WLS can be harder than the physical side.  Women who would not give you the time of day, suddenly come up to you and start flirting with you.  Getting treated better in business situations ("Well he's skinny...He must have his act togeather...He is very discilined")...If only they knew!!  You start looking in the mirror a lot more.  Before it was just to get bye and be presentable...Now it's a much harder and detailed look.  It can really throw you for a loop if you're not grounded.  It really is like an amusement park ride...Not knowing what's around the next corner.

Way to go Dude!

Great job, Chad. Keep your head on straight and remember nothing happens overnight. You did not gain it all overnight, and you won't lose it that way. However, I'd bet it's coming off quicker than it went on.

Nice job!!!

Great job, that is absolutely awesome!  Even though it is only a number, isn't it great to have hit the century mark?

Keep it going!

I admire anyone who can finish a 5K.   Way to go Chad.
