Today I am pleased to say I am down 2 1/4 pounds putting me at a loss of 80 and 1/4 pounds. Next I am shooting for the Ninty pound mark. It was so good to mark off the 80 pound space on my chart! I am really looking forward to the 100 lbs loss. It's just not that far away. It has taken me a long time to be able to say that but it is a good peaceful feeling. Love you all.

Many congratulations to you, gbo. It's a fantastic achievement and I wish you the best on achieving the 100 lb loss you've set as your Halloween goal.

Pam - That is so awesome. I sit here and imagine that i am putting 80 packages of butter in my cart at the store. It would be full to the top. That's what you've done.

WAY TO GO!!!

that's the best news i've had all week!!! well, except that a co-worker's wife had a 9 pound baby boy...

you are doing so fab, pam!!!! and you've been working so hard to get it.

hugs...

Thank You, Thank you I am so very pleased with myself and it has been a very long time coming. The visual picture of 80 lbs of butter I had not thought of.....I think I may be impressed! Lol.
I will make that 20 lbs by Halloween or get awfully close!!!!!

Pam:

I am envious but in a good way...many congratulations on your 80 lbs. loss i know you busted butt to do this. i only lost a pond this week, but i know that is where you started off too....one pound at a time, one day at a time, that's how i am going to get down.

God Bless your tenacity!!!!

This is why I come to this site. To see that others have done it or are doing it. Congratulations to you. I also agree 80 pounds of butter is quite a "visual" huh?? I know you have to have soooo much more energy now with less of you to carry around. I hope you do something great to celebrate like a manicure/pedicure or a massage!! You deserve it. I have been floundering lately. Losing and gaining the same 5 pounds and you have inspired me to set a realistic Halloween goal and stick to it!!
take care!!

Wow......... wow...... wowowowowowowow. Wow. wow. I'm speechless. (this may be a first, LOL!) Congrats. Peace. -Apryl

Deadnursewife...............Oh my darlin each and every single pound is a major big deal because they do add up. This has a battle for months and months at a time. I even quit once but came bounding back after I discovered I had gained 14 or 15 pounds!!!!! All that work just to have to go back and start again, how dumb can you be..Right!! Well, I didn't feel quite as dumb when I found out so many of us has fallen victim to that somewhere along the way but.........Never again. I have found my stride now but please know it took over a year of fighting for each and every pound as well as self honesty, and cutting the failure based mind games we all play with ourselves. Oh well, I just blew it the day is shot as sssoooooooo.....tomorrow I will......
tomorrow never comes and didn't come for more years than I care to mentions but finally it came. Just keep with it everyone,
be real with yourselves, cut you no slack and find the way that works best for you. I can tell you all.......if you keep plugging at it no matter what.... my achievements will far be outshined by your own. Honest. God Bless.
