I'M A BIG LOSER!!!

I wanted to give a little good news!  I started really seriously "changing my lifestyle" just 9 days ago!  I totally cut out soft drinks, drink only water and eat just under 1000 calories a day.  So, I went to the cardiologist today and they weighed me.  (I made them weigh me 3 times, because I didn't believe it!) In 9 days i've lost 23.5 pounds!!!  I know it sounds crazy.  The doc said when you have alot to lose ( I definitely do!)  it comes off faster.  Of course, alot of that was water from decreasing my sodium drastically.  Anyway, i'm psyched!  I'm really excited!  I appreciate your advice and encouragement!  Please pray that I can continue to lose!!!!

                                                                                                                                                                                    God Bless you,

Hi hun, I'm so proud of you. I know I'm not here much any more but I read your post and just had to say that is wonderful! Not sure I liked the dr. comment about when you have a lot to lose. That wasn't cool.  What is cool is your desire to get serious. There is always a reason for everything I beleive. I have been kicking it around the past couple of days to give up the pop. Even though it's diet. It still has salt. And also limit my calorie intake. I need to loose 20 lbs in the next 5 weeks. Which isn't going to happen but you have me motivated! Don't get depressed if you slow down. Rome wasn't built in a day.

You go girl!

love ya
