Awww...Donna.....thank you. That truly touched me. I will come haunt you guys again....lol......((hug))

OK OK for us slower losers once and for all......I have been looking at the post for the past two weeks and realize......we are not alone......there is you, myslef, Chris, Roxanne, Sabrina, and even Courtney has mentioned not being where whe wanted to be......but do we realize that we are plugging right along there together!!! That relative to weight if I figured out how to figure the precentage lost that we would be about the same. I have a photo shoot that is to be my AFTER picture which is far from my after that is coming up soon. And I soooooo wanted to be below 200.....yea, not going to happen. So my surgeon wants me to be 100 lbs down from surgery......um 9 more pounds......thinking not going to happen!!! But when ever have you lost in just over 6 months 82lbst? You can't tell me that can you.....cause if you could you would not have had the surgery!!! Seriously though, we will be the group still plugging away (sorry to leave anyone out), but we will have each other. I actually when I think about it LIKE that I have stabilized out a bit and though I am only losing a few pounds a week.....it is a consistent amount!!!! But let me tell you....you are an inspiration to me and I need the push to get my behind in to the gym or you will leave me in the dust for sure. I lost your phone number or I would have called to get you to inspire me to go work out!!!! You are building muscle now.....muscle weighs more than fat but then you are going to get\t the beneficial side and all the sudden that muscle mass will burn even more fat! i would like to know what training you are doing.....I need to increase my core strength before the surgery! So please come to the boards.....because you are inspiring more than you realize!!!! Donna

Thanks for putting that out there. This was a lousy week for me as well. No excercise and very poor food choices. I drank tea nearly all day every day so that must have helped. Sugery 372 Last week 255 This week 250 Enjoy the journey! Maxine

Awww....thank you so much for those wonderful thoughts and comforting words!! It is nice to know I am not in this boat alone. ((hug))

GO ME...Go Me.. I made it to ONEderland I say that with baited breath, hoping that When I wake up in the morning I won't see the dreaded 200's again. I am posting my OFFICIAL weight at 198. GO ME!..GO ME!! See y'all next week... Hopefully lighter still (I am starting to REALLY do some exercise, I paid my my $$ and signed on the dotted line , not just plan to and then come up with excuses not to).
