One pound away....

Susiecarbojunkie · 07-11-2011, 09:19 AM

....from 100 lbs. down!!

I had been on a terrible plateau...with my weight vacillating up and down the same 2-3 lbs. I was using the Nigen drops because I was afraid of anything with true hormones in it. But then I found the Intermountain drops from Netrition (ordered Sunday evening 7/3 and arrived Friday afternoon 7/8--holiday weekend. Totally astounding)

I got 2 doses on Fri. and using it regular since--2.5 days--down 3 lbs. (I used 7/4 as a loading day, and was afraid to eat too much, so by the time I started the intermountain drops, I had already lost that LD wt.

Feels good to break the plateau, feels great to almost break that 100 lbs. and Friday is b-day. Think I could get down to 189 by then? That sure would be sweet!!

I certainly would not have, should not have, could not have done it without reading this board. I don't post too much (shy schoolteacher here--go figure), but I've gotten SOOOOOO much information from this board over the years. Thanks to y'all for sharing!!

Yeah for you!! By the time I had lost as much as you have, people were commenting--and watching to see if it would last. But you know what--by that time, in my heart--I KNEW I would get to where I needed to be. It wasn't a matter of "if"--it was just a matter of "when". From that point on, I was open to enjoying the journey as much as I had imagined how great it would be to Be there (and I'm STILL on the journey--I always did like travel)

Just think about when we were kids and waiting for Christmas. The anticipation was usually better than the day itself.

Celebrate your success!! Revel in the journey, because each step of it is a victory!!

At least a million!! There's so much more I can do now, that I couldn't before--like cross my legs, or fit into one of those nasty student desks at school :blush:

I hope I didn't come across sounding smug or arrogant--but for so many years I was lurking here, trying and trying and looking, in awe, at the posts of people who were getting there--getting healthier, losing the weight. The success of everyone here made me feel like there was hope, and that I could get there too

You know, they say it takes a community to raise a child. Well, here's the proof!!

Still quite a way to my goal, but I'm wanting to pay it forward

Thanks for the kudos, y'all. I just hope I didn't jinx myself so that karma will bite me in the scale in the a.m.
