I pray that you have as great, or even better success than I've had!  And I pray that your surgery Wed. goes smoothly and without incident!!!

Peace Be Yours,

Rana, *thanks* so much. I always look to you as a role model. At three months out, and losing rather slowly (37 pounds, so far), it's often hard for me to believe I can make it to  my goal of 135.

Your example of writing down goals is great.

Where is your blog located?

Thanks for all your posts,
Jessica

Just click on my avatar and it will go to my profile.  I blog there.

At three months out, I don't think 37 lbs is all that slow.  I had lost 42 lbs in the first 3 months-- only 5 lbs more than yourself.  Looks to me like you are on track!  You have more weight to lose than I did, so it will take a little longer.  But it WILL happen!  Just keep at it!

Peace,
Rana
