  • LESS than 100 pounds to go!

    I am feeling a bit excited because I now have LESS than 100 pounds to go! When I started this journey, I was very discouraged because I had a total of 157 pounds to lose...an entire person! I've been on induction 4 times and each time, I've lost less than I had originally (17 pounds gone on my first induction). It's coming off very slow, but at least it's coming off. I feel better all over. My knees really feel the difference. It's so true that the weight we carry affects our bones and causes damage. I tried to be positive all the way through this, but for me it was impossible. I do get discouraged and have some bad days of thinking about quitting...like last night. The mashed potatoes that the rest of family ate were looking so good...but I knew I couldn't give in. Then there was cake, my biggest weakness...that I did not give into! And this morning, I was rewarded with a 2 pound little whooshie!

    To anyone thinking about starting this way of life...there is nothing to think about. Just do it! This is the best way to lose weight, learn to eat right and feel good, both physically and mentally.

    That is a fantastic achievement Kate, to have lost over 57 lbs. The difference between your 2005 and 2006 pictures is staggering.

    You have done so so well. Those last 100 lbs may take a bit longer to come off, but you are doing so well. You are going in the RIGHT direction.

    It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!




    I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!

          Kate you are doing great. That cake and mashed potatoes would long be forgotten if you had eaten them, but now look at you, you look fantactic, younger and your skin has a glow. Well done for not caving in.

                        I too have lost about 60lbs and have about 95 to go. We have bost already lost a little person, and it sure feels good to know. I'm hoping to be at goal by the 1st April next year.

                            Analog, I'm hoping to reach my goal weight by my birthday next year 5/22/07. I wanted to give myself a lot of time. Fitday says I need to lose 1.6 pounds a week to reach that goal. There are a lot of weeks that I'm not losing anything and I don't know if I will make that goal, but I know it's possible on this WOL. I'll tell you what though, I feel smaller this week.

                              I think feeling smaller has alot to do with it! I agree with you on weight loss, it just seems to whoosh at times then hold. So it may take a week or so but the scale eventually moves again. But at the same time i can feel smaller
                              keep up the good work girl!!
