Almost ready to close the 300s chapter ...

Hi everyone, Have had a rather lengthy plateau that finally seems to have broken. I got on the scale this morning and I'm 310 lbs. That's only 10 lbs away from the 200s and makes my total weight loss -132 lbs in all. I'm getting really close to the half-way point in my weight loss ... all I've got to remember is "it's down-hill from here!!!" Only the members of this board MIGHT be able to understand how overwhelming it is when one needs to lose over 280+ lbs. To find myself almost half-way home is something that I'm finding really hard to wrap my mind around!!! I'm so-o-o-o truly grateful for my new life, and I've learned (remembered) how to be hopeful again. I feel as if I've awakened from a long, long sleep, and realize just how much of life I was letting slip by me. Well, not any more! So, color me happy today!!! Blessings everyone, Myra 442/430/310/160 HW/SW/CW/GW

hi myra. the numbers you're talking about are almost exactly my own, too. and you're right, it's impossible to realize just how big a difference this makes in a person's life. hope is a word i had never even realized i had given up on, but i had. and to now have some back in my life - it's beyond imaginable. thanks for sharing, myra. keep up the great job. hugs dorthe
