70 Stubborn Pounds

[cheridoodle 0]

I too am looking to lose about 70 lbs. I want this so badly! I have my mind made up I just don't know the who, what, when, where...etc. I am in Texarkana, TX and my insurance is through Wal-Mart and they won't cover. I need all the finance info I can get...my husband is Mr. Anti-credit himself and likes to pay CASH for everything. Needless to say, I don't have that kind of cash sitting around. I have to convince him that I have 70 to lose now and at this rate I don't see it coming off any other way! I am 5'1, 192 lbs, 42 and have recently returned to college to get a degree in education. If I don't get this weight off I won't be in good enough physical condition to teach when I graduate! I AM READY TO DO THIS!! Keep the encouragement coming...ya'll do a grat job on LBT!!!

Like Jack said, why not do something with the first 70 lbs before there's ANOTHER 70 lbs to deal with.

I'll tell you honestly, when I was first banded, 'lightweights' used to bother me. Then I got overmyself and realized that when I had 'only' 70 lbs to lose if someone had said "you can get this and stop gaining weight and start losing weight" I would have jumped for it! Why gain more if you don't have to right?

I'm crawling up on my halfway point, which will be 70lbs lost, and no way would I want to stop there.
