jegtlf 0 Posted May 14, 2009 Maybe we should all get together one day and walk or something, I love to go to the Big Dam Bridge and walk. I am struggling to get the last little bit off and could use the support and encouragement of others who are going through the same thing. Ona positive note I am officially down 105 pounds! Went from a size 26 to a size 10. Yippee! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DEBPROBST 10 Posted May 14, 2009 WOW 105 lbs..that is an amazing accomplishment!! I cant wait until I can say that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jegtlf 0 Posted May 14, 2009 I am hoping to lose about 40 more, but i will be happy to get to 150 which is on 15 more pounds. You will get there, just work hard and smart at it! They say that most people lose up to 60% of their excess weight but I am already at 74% so it is possible! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarahbethlane 0 Posted May 15, 2009 We meet out there after work (around 5:30) and we have been walking 5-7 miles. we texted each other everyday to see if someone will be out there. I am always willing to be out there if someone wants to go with me. (my husband doesn't like for me to go by myself) I have started a 12 week program to start running. All my sisters run and I always fill left out. Today is my one month Banniversary! ! ! WOO HOO! ! ! Congrats Tracy on being in a size 8 ! I bought me a "Goal Dress" in a size XL. I wanted to be able to wear it for my birthday at the end of june. well when I got home and tried it on it fit! I am going to buy a size Lg to be my "Goal Dress" for my beach vacation in September.
