Well just loving my life! Have hit a few stalls only the way, but down 55 lbs since Opti for a total of 82 lbs. Actually bought size 16 pants, YES 16! Couldn't believe it. Had a tiny tiny piece of birthday cake Christmas eve and that was good for me. Still not feeling hungry which is great (cheap date). did miss not having egg nog/rum over the holidays but there is always next year.

Have to stop shopping for clothes before I shrink more. Turning to buying bling instead.
Havent worn size 16 since sometime in high school.

I do wish that the weight loss was faster but when you think of the time 55 lbs in less than 3 month I am happy.

Go for my 3 month check up next week so will see what my blood work shows. Hoping all is good and no more vitamins needed.

Sometimes you just put one foot in front of the other, even if you don't know where you're going.

Leslie you are rocking it!!!  55 lbs in 3 months in amazing....18.33 lbs per month, or 4.5 pounds a week.  That is FANTASTIC.  Congrats on the size 16,,,,,yes stop buying because you will buy many smaller sizes and will need your money for that.

Congrats and keep going.....

Congrats Leslie!   55 pounds is awesome and completely in line with what I've heard is realistic weight loss.  I'm 5.5 months out and 90% of everything I wear is from a thrift store...so i hear you on needing to stop clothes shopping...bling is a good substitute.

We should try to maybe get together for a cup of tea or a walk or something next time I'm in Cobourg.  Was in Grafton last week and had a great time...looking forward to next trip home.

HOLY, way to go.
don't ru**** you are doing marvelous, just marvelous.
You will be at goal before you know it.
But enjoy the journey, I find the longer it takes to hit goal (within reason) the easier it gets to maintain. Good  habits take time to develop.

congrats on the 16's, and try Value Village or Sally Ann, I'm still wearing stuff I got from there.
