BOTT works!! - I'm proof. (I'm "normal!")

Hello everyone out there!!  I just want to let you all know that as of today, I'M NORMAL!!!  Yup, I weighed 158.5 for the last two days and according to the BMI chart, that's normal.  This is what I really wanted as a result from having surgery.  Now, I need to get down to my goal of 150 and I'll be so happy!!!  Oddly enough, my surgeon didn't give me a goal so I don't even know if 150 is achievable, but I'm going for it!!  I've really been working at getting my exercise in, 45 minutes on the elliptical most days of the week, and tracking my food on The Daily Plate.  It was a real eye opener that I was probably consuming way too many calories and wasn't able to lose weight.  I still wasn't eating a lot of quantity, just the wrong things, and grazing. 

Thanks for listening!

First off....CONGRATS!!!!  That's a great acheivement sista!  Sounds like your doing a great job and it's paying off.  Keep up the good work.  I know you can reach your "goal" and it sounds like your going to get their in no time flat.....Keep us posted!

I joined Fitday.com and I'm loving it.  It was a BIG eye opener as to what bad food choices I was making.  It's hard to come face to face with a chart showing your carbs, fat, protein, calories and knowing your not doing whats right.  (I had a very BIG Awwwhh Haaah moment after plugging in my food intake on Fitday.

Poof that it works.....is on the scale!

Congratulations Petunia! How fantastic to be "normal"...!  I have not arrived to that point yet, but I look forward to the feeling.

Well, I've done pretty well with the motto All things are possible to those who believe - for those who believe in themselves!    I believe in you - so, you believe in you!  WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER.

i'm so proud of your "normal" achievement and I'm rooting for you to lose that last 8.5 pounds you want to lose  YOU CAN DO IT
