I went for my 3month check up Thursday. I have lost 75 lbs since April. I am doing so good. I feel great and this was the best thing I have done for myself. I can buy large tops and 16 pants. I was in a 24/26 pant and top. AMazing. I am even losing the boobs. That is a miricle. Gone from a 42ddd to a 36dd. That is exciting.
If I could get my sleeping right and find a good man my life would be close to perfect lol.
I have even joined a few dating sites. I don't need someone at my age, but it would be nice.
Life is good!!! I want to get to 125 my surgen sais 140. We will see I might get there in 6 months. That would be wonderful. Now, I can't wait to get Christmas pictures taken, before I would leave the room. I am seeing it and feeling it and it is great. Funny how I can cross my legs and never could do that. Sit in the tub and have space, Amazing.

What an inspiration! Congratulations! I can't wait to be able to cross my legs and sit in a tub. Future aspirations! I'm 3 1/2 weeks out and have lost 38 pounds. Finally seeing a difference in how some of my clothes fit. As yet no one has noticed that I have lost weight but I am patient. It will come. Congrats.

congrats! I'm only 11 days out and have already lost over 20 lbs. I'm so excited. Since I've started this journey I've lost a total of almost 50 lbs. I can't wait to be able to do the things I want. Thanks for the inspiring update!

Congratulations!! I am three months, but only down 53, I started out about the same size. I too can cross my legs and have gone down quite a bit up top. You must be exercising? I am not doing good in the exercise department. I am very happy for you, and will now try harder, so I can loose better. Thanks for the update, it helps me see where others are and what I may be capable of:)

Hi Doridoodles,

I just loved reading your post because it made me smile from beginning to end. Your happiness is in every word, especially the 'I am seeing it and feeling it and it is great'

Well done on your loss and thank you for
brightening up my otherwise dull day.

Take care
Michele

Congratulations on your success! I'm also 3 months out, but have only lost 65 lbs. I am beginning to worry because I have not lost even one pound in a month. Surely this can't be all the weight I'm ever going to lose. Anyway, keep up the good work. You'll be at your goal weight in no time if you keep at this rate.
