Hello

Haven't been back here for a little while. I am now down to 156. I am so happy! Maybe some of you read that on March 3rd I decided to get active emotionally and I swear that is what I have been doing and it feels great. I got involved with some volunteer work, ceramics and school and finally I am not going up again I am going down. I didn't want to get back up to that 240 mark again and I knew if I didn't stop with the eating and binging I would be right back up. Still exercising and feeling better than I have in a really long time

thats great jessie!! :up:

Good for you, Jessica! Staying busy is a great way to keep moving and not think about food. And it sounds like you know how easy it would be to shoot your weight back up. You didn't do all that hard work for nothing. :) Good going on the attitude. Judging from your stats, you've done great! Congratulations. :D

I am so proud for you!:D What diet plan or program did you follow to lose your weight? 8-|

Wow! What a great accomplishment. That is really encouraging to all of us who still have so far to go!:o

Had to write this down!! Got on the scale this morning and I weighed 154!!! 24 more pounds. I am soooo happy. I will tell you...Like I told my doctor, this is THE BEST I have ever felt in my life. After my hysterectomy, I am on an anti depressant and I am exercising every single day. and staying extremely busy. It is all working for me and I am thanking God. I have felt so down for so long and now God is truley, truley blessing me.

Hello all

I am down to 151 as of now, 21 more pounds. Thank God!! I am so happy. I went shopping and now am in a size 10 and can even get into some 8 pants. I am thanking God. I am exercising and staying on track. I am so thankful because I knew that if I kept on I would eventually be on my way back up. I was up to 165 in 6 months time and was down to 149 last August. When I weighed 240 I remember how I felt, how my self esteem was and I don't want to feel like that again. I have been exercising every day since March 3rd and feel great. Even lifting weights!!! Have to do it because I am in early menapause and want my bones to be healthy. Thanks all for being there

Jessie

Wow. What good success you are having and what will power!

Congratulations!:D

Jessie, during the 6 months when you were "gaining" were you over eating? I find that at goal, I still have to watch my calories the same as when I was "dieting". You sound so happy it makes me happy for you too!

hi jessie, i am so happy for you, congratulations. it just gives me incentive to keep going. you go girl!!

Hello all

O.K., just weighed today....150!!!! YA!!!! 20 more pounds. I have lost 15 pounds since March 3rd, I am so thankful to God, you all just don't know! I went to the mall today because my 10 pants are getting to loose! I can't believe it. I am in 8's now and I could cry I am so happy.

Yes I was overeating for the past 6 months when I was gaining. I had had a hysterectomy and couldn't exercise for months and was feeling menopausal, craved sweets but now they have given me some meds to help me through the menopause and I am exercising everyday and even lifting weights.

I just didn't want to get up to my 240 pound mark. I have lost 90 pounds and don't ever wanna look back.

Take Care all

Thanks for being there for me and listening
