It's Funny Really...

I think its funny that I plateaued for 3-4 weeks, and then I went on vacation the last two weekends and lost 5 pounds!!!  In my former life, going on vacation usually signaled the end of the diet/weight loss plan...now it is breaking me out of plateaus!!!  I have to lose 1 more pound to hit my 100 pound loss mark!!!  I still cannot believe this is me.  Sometimes I truly have to pinch myself!!!  To think, 7 months and 4 days ago, I have a surgery that changed my life...what will life be like in February on my anniversary...I can only imagine at this point!!!

Wow, 3-4 weeks on plateau and then vacation shook it up, huh?  That's cool!!  Must be that your body got in a routine and the vacation tricked it!  HAHA!!  :)  I'm used to plateaus so being stuck that long would be so discouraging for me ... but as I continued to read your post, I see you've lost 100 pounds in 7 months!!  Hello!  That's amazing!!!   I could live with a 3-4 week stall if I was down 100 pounds!  HAHAHAHA!!!!   I have surgery in 1 more week, so I'm very excited -- can't wait to see those pounds go away forever!  Congratulations on your huge success! 
All the best,

Woooooooooooo Hooooooooooooo   Congrats to you lady! You are doing awesome!  The plateau's come more often and last longer the further out we get. Sometimes shaking things up is what we really need to get things moving again. The less we have to lose the slower it comes off, but it will keep coming off!!!! I was 2 years out on July 21st, and have lost 4 lbs since then. Its slow going, but still going bit by bit. If I can get more active now I may lose even more. (the recent surgery I had has been keeping my exercise ability low) But think I am good to go now.

Soooooooooooooo happy for you! Keep up the excellent work. I can't wait to see where you are in Feb too! You are gonna be posting with a big big smile on your face!

Jennifer, congrats on your amazing loss.  You give others incentive to carry on.  You will hit the century mark soon, then cruise on to goal.  I hope you had fun on your vacation too.  Much more activities that are easier to do at a slimmer size.

Thanks for the update, I enjoy sharing victories with my friends here.  Hugs
