Congratulations Susie! I'm glad everything turned out OK. Welcome to Century club!! Stacey

WOOO-FREAKIN-HOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Congratulations! I'm so sorry to hear about the ruptured appendix, of course. But YAY for making your 100 pound loss anyway! Kat C

Hi Corgimom - You have lost an enormous amount of weight in just a year, you should be so proud! You started out heavier than I did and are now lighter than I am, so believe me, from where I sit you look like you're doing great! I have had so many plateaus I can't think straight about them anymore. Never once did I lose 3lbs a week, never mind 15lbs in 5 weeks after I got past my first 10 weeks out. I lost 60lbs in my first 10 weeks, and since then have lost only 25lbs. Plateaus for months, followed by a 5 or 10 lbs loss, followed by another month or so of plateaus. We are all different in how we lose, and I'm not surprised you have had such a long plateau after losing so much so quickly. It will come off for you, I'm certain of it. I pray that mine will come off for me as well, though I can't think of anything to improve my loss. Hang in there, it will happen. Look at how hard you worked to lose what you have lost already! Stick with your eating plan, exercise when and how you can until you can get back to your old exercise routine, and before you know it the scale will be moving again! Good luck! Mary Ellen

It may have had something to do with having a ruptured appendix two weeks ago, but I hit the 100 mark today!!! Woo-Hoo! I'm still at home recuperating from almost losing it with the gangrene appendix, but am stoked about the loss!!! Susie 235/135!!!!!!!

Tyshea, Have you tried sugar-free koolaid? I like that from time to time as a change a pace. Also how about the flavored waters like propel or dasana? There are also some drinks by crystal lite - orange, rasberry etc. good luck, corgimom
