Wow that is *awesome* news Jill!! Great job!! Hey a half inch is a lot to lose!

That is so true about your relatives - it is great that they have stopped smoking but soon (once they are really sure they won't go back to smoking) they will need to learn to eat more healthily. And by watching you make great progress, it will stick in their mind to talk with you when they are ready to take that next step. They will start to realize that they just can't keep eating the way they are.

I did it. I weighed in this morning and I was down to 203.5. I hit my 80 lb mark. I am very happy!!!

Next goal - under 200 lbs :-)

I have been riding my exercise bike every day!

Thanks for all of your support. I really appreciate it!!

WTG Marvin's Mom!! Great job!

wooohooo! Yeah MM! We are all so proud of you! I bet you feel great.

Wow, Marvin's Mom - 80 pounds is GREAT!!! That is so awesome Congratulations!!

Good for you on the bike, I know it can be really hard sometimes to get up the energy to get started. It really is so worth it!

I seem to have gained two pounds while working out daily and doing yoga. Now at 126. I am wondering if my period coming makes a difference? Er?

Congrats Marvins Mom, you must feel wonderful! 200 is just around the corner!!!!

Today I am at 127...does anyone know if one's period makes one weigh more? Am I retaining water? This is weird.

Yes definitely your body gains weight during your period Don't worry about it! It's a natural cycle and will reset itself in a few days
