Weight loss update

Congratulations Thersa ~ I am sure that you are stoked, you have reason to be.  It makes us push that much harder for another 5 pounds, then another and so on.  Keep up the GREAT work.  Susan  :) 

Hey Susan. You betcha. I am super stoked. I have surpassed the goal I wanted to be at by next week at my 4 week check up. Thanks for the kind words.

Congrats w/ the weighltoss and keep up the great work!!!

Hey there. Thanks for the kind words. They mean alot.

That is super news and you should be extremly proud.  I do however agree with Jackie . Do not set to many goals right now . Just keep what you are doing and track your weight loss . It will happen . Sometimes you will go with out loosing , but you will loose inches. So just keep that in mind.  There will come a point , that your body will slow down for a while , it will try to play catch up . Then comes the feeling of OMG .. I have stopped loosing . So just be prepared for that . As it normally hits about the 2nd month or so . It is just your body's way of saying .... OK what are you doing to me ...  But you are surely to be commended .  I am very proud of you , keep up your hard work !  Tink

Hey Tink. Thanks so much for the kind words. They mean alot coming from you. I am going to do as someone else suggested and start taking measurements, in case my weight stays the same. You being proud of me means SOOOO much. Thanks!

Girl you got it going on!  If you have not started, now is the time to start taking monthly measurements. I was at the same weight for 3 long months..but the inches kept dropping. I am so proud of you.

Awww thanks Jen. I am going to do just as you suggested and start taking measurements. I am going to get my original measurements from the dr when I go on Wednesday and do them on the 30th of each month, since that is the day I had my surgery. I hope to see results, even if just small ones. Thanks for the kind words.

WOW! you are seeing fantastic results so far!!  As far as goal setting, I do it too.  I give myself little goals but try not to attach a difinitive time frame to it.  I've found that at this point in my weight loss that I can't help but be proud even if I have a slow down.  For me, my next mini-goal is by the end of the summer to go to Kings Dominion or Busch Garden and ride a rollercoaster.  I hope I fit.  It's been over 8 years since I rode one and I'm basing my mini-goal on what I weighed at that time.  I think if I lose another 20lbs or so I should be able to do it.  I've very excited about it.  :) I know your birthday will be happy with WHATEVER great loss you have, even if you don't hit the 250 mark.  :)  HUGS!

Hey girl! Thanks so much for the kind words. That's what I am doing is trying to set small goals. Maybe in my head it will help me see that I am doing good. Maybe it is my inner self wanting to see results. You should be very proud of what you have accomplished. I know I am very proud of you. I too, want to go to Kings Dominion and KNOW that I can fit into a ride and be able to ride it with Cam and have fun. Maybe we can do that this fall when the fair comes into town. Hopefully I will have lost a bit more by then and won't have to question if I can fit or not. My birthday, to me, hasn't meant that much to me since my 8th birthday. My grandfather had a heart attack while we were playing and he passed away with me in his room with him on that birthday but I really want this one to be special. I am going to work my tushie off to meet or surpas that goal. Thank you for being here for me! It means alot and you are a great friend! Big hugs!
