Thank you and a WOW

Thank you for all your kind reponses to my last few posts. It means so much to me and really helps. Wow, I weigh 193.6. I can't believe it, I have lost 150+ pounds. I am so grateful. I have also lost 24 pounds since I was in Florida last. That's five pounds a month. Not great, but I will take it. Actually that is pretty darn good. I am thinking about starting another exercise class at the Y. Maybe the one called backs and abs. Tonight I find out if I can get up off the floor by myself. That will be the deal beaker. I can't wait to go to FLorida Tuesday. I have a real cute traveling outfit. Ironically, I never cared about clothes when I was a normal weight. I made and bought my dad dachshund themed birthday presents. LOL They have also opened the first Starbucks in Ft. Walton Beach! They used to be Starbuckless. I love mine with half and half. I'd probably be at goal now if I drank it black. Everyone has a super morning and I will respond to the other posts out there when I get back from water aerobics. Hugs, Loris

Hey Loris, Weigh to go girl! Lol That is awesome 150!!! And dont knock five pounds a month. Shoot. I would gain five pounds a day back in my "old" life lol.... And I know you have to be siked up being in the onederlands now.!! Who hoo!! Im sad to say but I have never went to a starbucks... I know, I know, how sad. And theres one like eight miles from me lol.... Will have to see what all the buzz is about huh? We even have one in our major hospital in Albany not to far from me. So guess im missing out... You keep up the great work and enjoy that trip to sunny Florida. All I can say is...... Pack cool light clothes. Its hot as ^%$# down this way lol... Hugs Marge

I love a good cup of strong coffee. Starbuck is definitely about the "buzz." I never order the fancy drinks, but I have to have my half and half. Scot brings one home evey afternoon and we keep the tv off, pet the dogs, discuss our day and what's happening in the world. It's "our time." Hugs, Loris

Loris, 5 lbs a month is what I dream for at this point! You have done fantastic!!!! Woohoo! Lori 384/238/199

You are so right. Five pounds a month at this point is a lot. I wanted to thank you for your gym is open posts. I see them every day and they have been a gentle reminder for me to get started on my exercise. You really helped with that. I am glad you had a good check up. I just read your post. Maybe it is time to switch anti-depressants. Maybe you need to start with a phychiatrist (sp) before you start therapy and see what they can do for you. I wish you the very best. I really admire you. Loris

Thanks Loris, the feeling is mutual!
