Down 101 today...yipeeeee!!!!!

 Had my 6 month follow up appt today and I am down 101 lbs!!! It's such an amazing feeling to have lost that much (and to me, so fast).  I basically wanted to encourage all of the newbies and all the ones soon to be on the looser's bench to hang in there! It does get better and you will see all the benefits of all your hard work in the end.  I still have 37-40 more pounds to go but to go from 288 to 187.8 in 6 months, life is good.  Developing such a new relationship with food and enjoying more flavors now.  As always, thank you all of my OH friends who have been there and helped along the way!!! ALL of you are amazing :) :) 

Wow, congrats on the weight loss that is great. So, I guess you would say if you had to do it all over again you would.  Newbie here has it been tuff to not drink after you eat? 

 Yes its tough not being able to drink after and wait but if you keep yourself occupied doing something the time starts to fly by for me.  Also YES I would do this all over again 100%.  Don't get me wrong you will definitely go through the days of "What did I get myself into" for sure but they will pass and when you start seeing results it's all the better!

Thanks for posting!  101 pounds ((doing the happy dance for you))....and in six months.  I can only hope to have the success you have.  My surgery is Monday and needed the inspiration and hope going into it!

101 is really amazing! Congratulations!!!!

Congratulations.  You must feel great.  I'm one week ahead of you and down 97 pounds.  I'm chomping at the bit to become a member of the Century Club.  Keep up the great work.

Way to go!!!  That does help, thank you for sharing!!  I"m only 5 weeks out and have only lost 33 lbs.  I will keep plugging away!

awesomeness!!

 whoo hooo!! Awesome, so happy for you!

 wonderful job.  Lori
