Halfway there

Hi gang.  I've missed you all.  Work's been really stressful, long, and basically sucky.  I'm going to have to start looking for a new job, but at least I have one.  I had to miss Dr. Garber's last TWO support groups because of work.  Well, not November, no matter what! ANYWAY, I'm finally at the half-way mark.  It took 2 weeks to go from 169 to 167, but I guess I was on another palteau.  I was feeling really down in the dumps because It's taken me so long to lose only 42 lbs., but when I take into consideration that it's been 4.5 months, and if I lose the other half in 5 months, I'll still be in my first year and doing fine.  I have to keep my individual goal in mind and not compare myself with everyone else who loses weight faster than I do!   I guess what you've all been telling me is finally sinking in--thank you. My skirts are falling off (have you seen the Weigh****cher's commercial were she gets caught in the elevator & her skirt comes off??) and I'm finally getting tons of compliments. It's hard to believe that I might actually get to goal...but I guess that's what "one day at a time" means.  

Ha Ha!! That was me with my jeans a few weeks into the Medifast program pre-op!! Isn't that commercial great when it hits home like that?!! Congrats on your success thus far!!! That's awesome!!!! Keep up the great work!!! Good luck with the job hunt!!! I know how horrible it is to work where you just hate to be!!!  Cece

Thanks for all your responses.  Britt, what a Gorgeous picture!   I really thought this wouldn't wor****il you all convinced me that it would, and for that, I'm grateful. Love you all,
