Well I have set a few small goals for myself on this weight loss journey and yesterday I hit my second. My first goal was I wanted to be able to weigh myself on a scale in my own home... and a very good friend found one online and had it sent to me, so there was goal 1 met. The second was to lose 100 pounds. I went to the Dr yesterday expecting to not have lost a thing... I have been bad about walking since I've just been feeling so run down with not being able to eat the way I should, and the last appt June 11th I gained 2 pounds so I expected a small weight loss if there was any at all. You could have knocked me over with a feather when I saw I had lost another 21 ponds, bringing my weight loss total to 105. I sat down in the chair and I just felt the tears welling up in my eyes... kinda like they are now... I guess I am just still trying to realize that this is really happening and it's not a dream. I will get to the goal that I've set for myself, regardless of the bumps in the road along the way.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Way to go.. you are doing great. I bet you were surprised to have made it to the century club already. I still have a few pounds to go and seems like I will never make it. You are doing wonderful. Keep up the good work...

Journey of a thousand miles begins with one small goal. Keep setting 'em up, and keep knocking 'em down, and soon you'll look over your shoulder and not be able to see where you started.

Good job! That Century Club badge looks pretty good, doesn't it?

lmao.... well when I need to lose more weight than what I will end up weighing at goal, 100 pounds is a small step... granted it's going fast cause I have so much to lose, but it still feels really REALLY good.

PS Told the bf I hit the 100 pound mark... he asked if I was under 200 yet.. I told him no.. I still have a ways to go, but by the time he's set up and ready to get me down there.. I'm gonna be so damn sexy he's gonna be in trouble

Wow, that's a great job. It takes a long time to believe this will really work. Even at the 2 year mark I still wonder sometimes. Keep setting those goals, that's the right way to do this - one step at a time.
