433 starting weight. 6 1/2 months post of lost 116 lbs. not enough

Hi, all am I losing enough? I feel like I am not.

Hun, That is terrific!!! You are doing wonderful (I am sure you feel wonderful too!!) Keep up the hard work, it will keep melting off.

You're doing wonderfully!!!!! Congrats Norma!!!

JACI-have you had any problems with excess skin. I have lots. What do you eat on a typical day? There is no type of food that bothers my stomach. This is very scary. I was reading your profile and you have lost a lot of weight. You look great!! Do you have any suggestions on what to eat?

Oh girl... I am noticing it now! My tummy is nasty! My thighs are nasty! My arms are nasty! BUT!! We gotta look on the bright side- it used to be filled with fat, now its emptying and it'll be gone soon I slather on my firming lotion religiously... I don't know if it firms or anything, but it has glitter in it and makes my skin super soft and silky- my skin has NEVER been soft and silky! My menu sucks! For the past couple of weeks I haven't eaten much of anything nor drink and ended up getting myself sick! Now I've decided to take control again. I am scared to death of over eating... cuz I feel like I'm stuffing my face. I eat protein bars, drink protein shakes, eggs are a part of my menu as well as chicken. I have such a bland diet lol! I eat yogurt too. Yesterday I ate a beef patty from Jack in the Box with a slice of cheese on it- it was heaven. Thanks alot for the compliment. I am so scared of gaining back my weight I'm constantly weighing myself lol. I allow for a three pound difference from am to pm as I've found my body gains roughly 3 pounds throughout the day and then loses it at night, I know freaky! Anything over that and I get super scared, I think that is why I didnt eat. I forget to eat too. I have to constantly tell myself to eat, to drink, to take my vitamins... ugh that's another thing I SUCK at! If they're not in plain view I don't take them. Ugh. BUT, I'm changing this pattern. LOL, I'm taking control again and you can too! We cannot be scared.... I think we can be a bit weary, but we have to take the bull by the horns and make sure we continue doing this for ourselves.... to be healthy. Honestly, if I didn't lose another pound, I'd be amazingly happy with my success. But I do want to hit goal, I wanna be that cute skinny thing everyone fawns over. I never thought I'd want that... but the vain chick in me wants people to look at me and go wow, she's hot lol! I know, crazy!. Ok, I'm rambling.... I'm sure you didn't want all that info, but if you wanna chit chat, just email me or whatever. You're doing awesome Norma..... keep it up! Jaci

I will keep on working my a-- off and see what comes of it. I am only 29 and for the past 12 years I have felt like I am 100! I have a husband I have been married to for 11 years and I want to knock his socks off and have him say that is my wife. Yeah, the vain chick in me wants to come out too. I have a wedding to go to on Saturday and hopefully I will take new photos and post them. Let me see if I see a difference in my old ugly photos. I also have this freaking adorable little two year old who people ask me if his eyelashes are fake. He should give those lashes to his momma cause she needs all the she can get I will post his photos too. Take care and talk to you soon......

I so can't wait to see them!!!

Holy Cow, That is fabulous. Keep up the great work! Kathy
