Guest guest Posted October 10, 2000 Report Share Posted October 10, 2000 This morning I stepped on the scale. I don't weigh often. The number was 232..that's what I weighed in 1966 on my wedding day. I won't even tell you what this means to me...you all know..you all have your own milestones. I have only been below that weight in 1968 after a terrible pregnancy but by my six-week check up I was back up 32 of the 65 I lost during the pregnancy; in 1971 after another bad pregnancy during which I lost 52 pounds and by six weeks I had gaind 40 of it back, and in 1988 after going to Physician's Weight loss where I went down to 225 and the following week was 237...and rising. And rose to an all time high of 324. I was 304 on my surgery date of May 31. So...that's 72 pounds down in a little over 4 months. More importantly...I feel better than I have felt in years. So many physical problems are gone. Such money being saved on prescriptions! I'm living a miracle!
