Rita,

Congrats on your progress. Isn't it great to be able to use the bathroom

scale. There are so many milestones and mini-milestones along the way, it

seems there is always something to marvel at.

Way to go, Rita. Congratulations!

budge below that mark)

Today is 6 month since my DS. On the scale today (and I finally was able to

use a bathroom scale) I weighed 295. I feel great. I wish it was a bit

more since I have 250 lbs to lose to get to " normal " , but at 105 lbs it is

just about what I should expect. According to the graph that I believe

posted a while ago, at 6 months I should expect loosing 35% of excess

which is 87.5, half of my excess is 125. So I'm right in the middle of

those.

It gets so confusing, but I know one thing. I feel GREAT. I have so much

more energy than I did before. I too , like have not been able to

exercise much because of a bad knee. But, as you can see it hasn't hurt my

weight lost. I do have a stationary bike and can do that as long as I don't

overdo it.
