Hi all;

When I weighed myself this morning, I had a big surprise I just had to share. The scales read 299.8lbs. I am out of the 300's. I was over 2 week after my goal of January 1 so that's not too bad. I am now half way to my final goal of about 225lbs. I know it will take longer for the second half compared to the first half. Thanks to all of you for your support and encouragement. Reading about your successes and struggles has helped me keep my perspective on things. I know I can't lose 8 or 9 lbs a week every week like I did in phase 1, 1 or 2 lbs a week is fine, and if it is Christmas, just not gaining weight is OK. With all of your help, I know I will reach my goal.

JEREMY!!!

What a wonderful way to start your day! The feeling when you see that first digit change is hard to imagine unless you've been there. But it's a HUGE milestone, and it shows how hard you've worked and how far you've come!

Halfway to your goal- so how does that feel?

When you start with a big amount to lose, you have to take it a day at a time. It's easy to get overwhelmed and throw in the towel. But you have stuck with it, and proven that you CAN get there, to your ultimate goal!

It'll be fun to watch how you change and lose over the coming months. You're so much healthier right now than you were this time last year, and this time NEXT year... well, just imagine how you'll feel (and look!)

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You're doing such a great job!

Thank you all for the kind words of encouragement and congratulations. People are really starting to notice my weight loss. I went out to the local Chinese buffet that I used to go to about once a week. Since starting SB I had only been there maybe twice. The waitress remembered me and commented on my weight loss and how I hadn't been in recently. I did well eating there. I focused on eating the stir fried dishes instead of the breaded and deep fried dishes. I skipped the rice and focused on the vegetables and fruits instead.
