Six 1/2 months out, down 75 pounds!

I started out as a "lightweight" so my weight loss has not been as dramatic as some, but today I stepped on the scale and realized I had finally hit 75 pounds GONE!  I am not missing those pounds one bit, although my skin is a bit sorry looking for the loss.  I feel amazingly good! Linda

Way to go Linda!! Time goes by fast does'nt it?  I started out on my journey February 23, 2005 and I am down 286 lbs all together.  I feel marvelous, I still have little aches and pains here and there, but working out 3x a week has made me stronger.  I still have a whole pile of jello to get rid of,  But I don't regret any of what I have done. Keep up the good work, Peggy

Thanks Peggy - the jello is a bit hard to deal with at times, but I'll take it over the struggling for breath and trying to squeeze into a little chair any day.  Life is really good. Linda

Congratulations on your milestone, Linda! I'm glad you are feeling so well!

Thanks Kim.  How are you feeling?  Getting stronger every day I hope. Linda

YAY Linda!!! Doesn't it feel good be lighter!  75 is a huge number for a  "lightweight".  I find the lower I get in numbers the harder  and longer it takes to get a pound off....although I really notice it when I have lost a couple of pounds.....I never noticed that in the past.   anyhoo good for you!!! debra

Thanks!  It's just awful, but when I notice some other body part has begun to look droopy or saggy, I figure it's time to get on the scale.  And then, yes -- there are more pounds gone.  I'm trying to fill some of this skin back up with muscle, but I know it won't all go away.  I'm just glad to be rid of a lot of fat. Linda

YEAH YOU!!!!! Congrats....glad you're feeling sooo great...KEEP IT UP!!!

Thanks Deanna!  How's the PS recovery going?  I hope you're feeling great too. Linda

That's fantastic! You must be feeling SO great! Congratulations on your success-you should be very proud of yourself!
