My Last 42 lbs ...

  Are all around the middle:  tummy, midriff and back.  I can wear ladies medium pants now, but my shirts are still large.  Dr. Overby said I could stop at 150 lbs because my tummy tuck will take off another 15 lbs.  In that case instead of 42 lbs to lose, I would only need to lose 22 lbs more.  I just can't see myself comfortable leveling off at 150 lbs with this tummy.  I am right at 5 feet tall and petite boned.  I go to see my surgeon Monday for my 6 month checkup.  I am very excited about my progress since our last visit.  I have started jogging again, 3 times a week.  It is wonderful to be able to push myself and work at controlling my breating, feeling the sweat drip off my brow.  All this tells me I AM WELL!  I'm not winning any marathons, but I am out there on the track with the healthy.  God is Good ALL THE TIME! Many blessings, Diane

Wow Diane!

You must be sooooo excited. I'm excited for you! It looks like you are definitely on the home stretch now. I can't wait to see you. I'll bet you look just fantastic. It sounds like you are feeling wonderful too.

Congratulations on so many successes this year. Not "just" the 103 that you have lost, but all of the life changes you have been making as well.

Keep inspiring me!

Your friend,

Barb
