100 Pounds Gone!!
Marci320 posted:
Okay, my weight today is 223.8, so I have officially lost 100 pounds since starting here in January. I'm so excited and trying not to think about the 50 pounds I still have to go to reach my goal. So my next goal is to weigh 218.
Anyway, hope I won't sound like a boring Academy Award speech here or anything, but I couldn't have done this without you all--especially those who were here at the beginning: Louise, Deb, Rg, Mia, Sheryl, and Barb Jean, and Judy and Amber from the 50-100 board, who I will thank over there as well.
For those of you just starting out or struggling today, be encouraged! We can all do this together! <waits for thundering applause to stop> LOL
Seriously, I love you guys!

Aww you all are so sweet and are on the verge of making me cry! Thanks for helping me celebrate with your cheering, dancing, and smiling. There really is no one in my life to share this with that would truly understand so you don't know how much I appreciate it! As Barb said, the support here is priceless!
Barb, you really are helpful, and you always manage to crack me up. BTW, where is Sheryl? Is she still on vacation? I miss her! Rg too. Is she still in Boston?
Anyway, love all you guys!

Marci,
I put a shout-out to Mia on one of the boards and she got back w/me/us. I did the same to Sheryl and hope she gets back, especially to share your SUPER victory. Like I said Sheryl, and ALL you gals kept me thinking and not eating (I think that could be a hit country song). LOL.
I was bragging about YOU, Marci, to my 30 yr. old dau. she said Congrats, too!!
I really hope Rg sees your news.
I swear this is like sharing a birth, because it IS the new YOU, that you created.
Marci, PLEASE, keep posting what you are feeling.

Thanks, Grammato2, and Barb, I just love you. Thanks for celebrating with me, and thank your daughter too.
I wish I could say that everything is going well but I am really having trouble with PMS, as usual. I'm trying to keep my snacks at a minimum, but ended up having my nightly ice cream and then was hungry again so had popcorn at 10:30 last night. I'm just going to try to keep as busy as possible this long weekend so as not to get bored and do what I really want to do--sit and watch TV and eat!
Hope you all are having a great day so far!

Marci,
Get through that dreadful PMS. I can't say it was PMS for me, but on Fri. nite I had salmon w/fresh lemon and greilled fresh green bean and a side salad for dinner at a restaurant. It was sooo yummy! But, then when I got home I had baked Doritos and some Fun Yums(the baked onion rings). I dipped them in 2 Tbs. of ff sour cream. I just had to have some crunchies.
Well in the "big picture" of things this really isn't so horrible. But I had to write you because you had the "munchies", also.
I really think it is soooo important to know our "triggers/and weak-spots". And, how not to totally cave-in and make them a habit. And having snacks available that are not so calorie-filled.,
Good for you for having popcorn.
I am going to the movies,(to see that new George Clooney one "The American"), and I learned from you to pack low-cal snacks, some popcorn, some chocolate Cheerios 1/3 cup) and Crystal Lite. Armed and dangerous!
Hang in there through your PMS! You CAN do it!!
