Beyond Goal
Congratulations Paula!!! That's super wonderful!!! I hear ya about checking the second day to see if the loss "holds" LOL
My surgeon's prediction of being a slow loser due to my age (65) is sadly true......and it looks like I'm going to be about 3-4 pounds short of the goal I begged him to give me at my 3 months check-up. He didn't want to give a number, but in my infinite stupidity, I insisted. He said try for 25 pounds by my 6 months check-up. Well, I see him Thursday and it would take a MAJOR miracle for me to meet it.......21-22 pounds will have to do. I'm trying not to feel like a failure, though!
Keep up the great job you're doing! Your progress is truly impressive!
Happy Holidays!

So that makes 68 lbs for 6 months for you - I hope I can do as well. I see where you lost 46 lbs by 3 months checkup - so not far behind me in loss. I get discouraged sometimes when I see such super weight losses in such short time periods for some but I don;'t feel like I am suffering or denying myself - I follow program but try to make the most of it with variety. We may be older but we are working it. Merry Christmas to you.
