Half Way There!

[LindaV]

I am pleased to announce that I have just reached my half way milestone for weight loss. I started this journey at 315 pounds and I want to lose 145 pounds to be at my goal of 170. This morning the scale read 242.5. Thats -72.5 pounds gone and exactly one half of what I want to lose.

Let me just say once again---I LOVE MY LAP BAND!!!!!!! I also love all of you great people who have supported me along the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Linda!! What a wonderful way to look at your goal. Once you make it halfway, the rest is down hill.

I started at 450 with a final goal of 165, so my halfway will be 307.5. Gosh, I just have 59.5 pounds to reach my halfway point. THAT is something to aim for.

THANK YOU!!

Linda, you ROCK. I'm really enjoying the Commitment thread, and you have been such an inspiration. We have more in common than I knew! I feel like I'm gaining a new friend, so thanks for the encouragement!

This makes me want to run my numbers...hang on, I'm calculating...

I was 97 pounds from High Weight to Goal Weight. I have lost 66 pounds so far. That's roughly 68% of my excess weight. I'm THIS close to losing 3/4 of my excess weight. Cool! Wedding Weight (168), here I come.

[LindaV]

Thanks again everyone! You guys are the best support a girl could ask for!!!
