Me

I was just looking through my webpage scrapbook at my progress so far. You see I've been stuck for a few months now. A few days ago I decided that I was tired of being stuck and that I needed to start really watching what I was eating and I needed to start exercising again. So this week I've done it. I started exercising for 30 to 60 minutes a day depending on what my schedule allows for and I've really been watching what I eat (I work at a restaurant, so it's easy to graze). So far this week I've gone from the early 180's to an all time low this morning of 176! But back to my original thougth... I was getting disappointed because I've been the same for so long... but looking through those pictures almost made me want to cry. Wow I've come so far... I was so awful in those pictures... how did I not notice it then? I still see myself as a fat person, but at least when I compare the pictures I realize that I'm not as fat as I once was... and if I've come this far I know I can go all the way to my goal! So I just wanted to thank everyone here for all the support they gave me way back when.... and to let you know that I'm going to be around more... because I really believe the support of the message boards has helped me a lot!

You look great. I wondered what happened to you. I was in Dekalb last Monday to pick up a transcript and to take my sons to Steve and Barry's. Glad you are doing so well.

Yeah I'm in and out of DeKalb now a days since I graduated and I'm working about 3 hours away! Thanks for the encouragement!!

Brooke, you look great! Congrats on graduating too! I go though standstills too, then I'll lose 7-10 within 2 weeks. My one year is on 3/14/06 and today I'm down to 194 from a starting of 301. I have lost slow by some standards but am very happy overall. Good luck now that you're out of school!!!!! Keep up the good work! Peggy

Thank you very much!! I know why I was at my stand still.. because I wasn't eating right and I wasn't getting in my fluids... but now I am and everything is going back the way it should! Wow Naperville... we're practically Neighbors!! Good luck to you with everything!!

Brooke, you are doing so well and have come so far! celebrate your tremendous success!

Thanks so much! How are you doing? How did the plastic revision go? I hope to see you this month at the meeting!

I'm doing good, the revisions went well. Hoping to make the meeting, but might have to bring my grand daughter, since I have been babysitting on mon nights while my daughter is in school.

Wow, you look great, I didn't recognize your new picture! How did the surgery go? I hope to see you at the next meeting. Terry

Brooke, I opened your website, and what's the first thing I see? The picture of us with Dr. Vaughn at our 1 year check up. You know how proud I am of you, and I think you've done great. I'm glad to know that you're getting your water in (and protein?) Don't beat yourself up, you've come so far and you look fantastic. See you at the next meeting. Terry
