Well again its been over a month since I have posted anything here so I figured I would try and catch up.
The roller coaster ride continues and I seem to be plugging right along. I had to have some minor surgery on my foot / toe to correct an issue that I didnt even know I had until I lost all this weight. I am down 170 pounds as of right now and hopefully have broken the plateau that I was on for 7 weeks. I was a little concerned to tell the truth about the stall but I just kept at it as everyone has said and it finally broke.
I think one of the most amazing things so far was me realizing how much this 170 pounds lost means to me. I started with a BMI of 61 and now my BMI is 39. I have lost 1/3 of my body mass in just under 9 months. I was carrying in a 40 pound bag of dog food the other day and I thought to myself, you have lost 4 of these. I tried to pickj of three in the store the other day and I just couldnt do it and thought to myself "wow how did I carry all this weight".
I started a support group
http://www.obesityhelp.com/group/prep4success/
I completed my OH Support Group Leader training on 11/09/2010 and went live with the group today. If you want to join, just let me know. A good friend Katt from the California Forum has also got hers started as well. Looking forward to the success of her group.
Thats it for now ...........Have a great day
