I have bcbs ILL and it was super smooth. I did not even have comorbities! I just made the 40 BMI mark. Good luck!

Bea crossed a border!

Currently: 183 Goal: 173

Sounds yummy!

184.4 I didn't make my goal of 181 But I AM in the 180's!! HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

I just marched right into the office and said " wtf, people!, I've lost a boat load of weight and you people better start acknowledging it". Turns out they DID notice , but they were afraid to speak up about it! They thought by doing so, they'd be reminding me that I was fat....as if I'd forgotten So, I think in order to experience that BIG REVEAL, one would need to walk in to the perfect storm of a situation. A setting where not only has this audience not laid eyes on you for some time, but also a bunch that is not afraid of/ intimidated by you (as they were in my case)

HW: 240 SW: 229 CW: 185 Goal:150

I wouldn't mind a stall/gain so much if I'd cheated! But, Halloween came and went without even a taste of candy, thanksgiving was nothing but plain turkey, not even a smidgen of potatoes or gravy or pie, Christmas? Not a single goodie! New Year's Eve, nada, I did not have cake on my own birthday! Nothing but Protein for super bowl Sunday! My mother tries to get me to eat various fattening/carby things regularly, only to be met with a big, fat No! I understand stalls and such, but for the love of Pete, where is that big drop? I feel like I'd be in the very same place, had I tasted the candy, ate the pie, sampled cake and so on! I want to be rewarded for my good deeds! I'm a model patient! I feel robbed.

I think you should pat yourself on the back, you haven't killed him after all! THAT can not be easy! But, alas,men lose faster than women! WE WILL GET THERE!

Agreed. It's always better to focus on the positive! But, once in awhile, it's ok to vent your frustrations in a safe place! How wonderful for you to be off meds! That's a huge accomplishment! We will get there, I know it!

Yay!! Fabulous!

So awesome!

I am in!

185. Can I lose 4 pounds in one week? Yikes!

I'm sorry, are you referencing a different post? At no point did I bemoan the fact that I've lost much weight. I was simply complaining about not having " cheated" and the fact that the scale is not budging. Did I say I've "only" lost anything? Nope. I didn't. I also don't think my post was "ridiculous". I see you are using words like 'we' and 'us', but clearly you think you've risen above this type of need for support. I can see, however skewed, that your intention may have been to just say ' stop comparing', and that you were confused about the original post. So, with that in mind, I will thank you.

Yes. I suppose it is. I REALLY need to stop looking at what others have lost within the same time frame, because when I do, I feel discouraged. There is a lot to be said about the psychology behind this stuff. I'm mad at the scale, the graph and the process (for seeming slow)! I want to fast forward!

Thanks for the support! I just can't have that 1cookie,because 1will lead to more! I don't find it that difficult to abstain, I just find it completely annoying that following the rules is not duly rewarded! I'm just complaining. I DO realize that it happens all in good time!

186.4!

186.4!

I won't be by a scale tomorrow! Weight for this week is 187.8! Hello, 180's!

I just started Zumba, too! I have gone to 3 so far. I feel like I get most of the steps, until instructor goes crazy! It reminds me of the old "step aerobics" , many of the same basic steps. Like you, I like that I am not the biggest in the class, but sadly, I might be the oldest

190! Next week 180's for sure!

That is so sad. What a fine gift she has left! Could you let us know EVERYDAY what the holiday is so that we all might celebrate? I for one intend to!

Pretty girl!

Wow! Way to go! Completely awesome!
