(150 pounds lost) Please share my happy dance!
 

I wish I knew how to do animated stuff on my post! :Party: :dazzle: :yay: :clap: :cheer:

AS of this morning, my weight was 229.5. I was 380 in 2000. That makes it 150.5 pounds lost from my highest weight! When I got on the scale this morning and saw the numbers, I started crying tears of joy.

(I also now match my drivers license weight!)

Congratulations! :dazzle: You must feel so much better and have so much more energy. I can relate to the driver's license weight too! Wishing you continued success. :yay:

:Party: !!!Congratulations Kokle!!!!:Party:

Way to go!! :dazzle:

I can truly feel your joy. :roll:

I'm very happy for you...we all share the same struggle and when you see someone succeeding it's another cause to celebrate...CAD/CALP is fantastic! You are an inspiration to us all! :yay:

WOW!!! :wiggle: 150 lbs. sure is something to dance about!!!! I am so proud of you. You've really inspired me with hope.

My DH came home from work early. When he broached the topic of dinner, I told him I wanted to celebrate. We ended up going out to a seafood restaurant that serves all the whole lobsters I can eat for the same price. They were having several banquets going on, so we had to wait and hour before we got a table. It also took the food a while to be served. One lobster is low in calories, so I had 5. The waitress was very attentive, which was great considering how busy the place was. I haven't check my weight this morning, but it should be ok.

Congratulations! You are quite an inspiration! (The 150 pounds and the 5 lobsters!)

WOW!! What a great accomplishment.. Now I got to get my butt in gear :)

Congratulations :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay:

Take care, Kandi

Three cheers for Kokle!

:cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

Oh Kokle I am so pleased for you. What a fantastic achievement. You have really inspired me because I have been trying to lose weight on so many different low carb diets and not succeeded. I have only recently discovered CAD and am happy to say that my weight seems to be dropping now (although after years of disappointments I am very suspicous that is will be a fluke).

Now you have given me the confidence and inspiration to stick with it and hope that it will work for me too. Best news I have heard in ages, no wonder you are celebrating. Way to go! :Party: :dazzle: :Party: :dazzle:

:yay: :dazzle: :yay: :dazzle: :yay: :dazzle: :yay: :dazzle: :Party: :wiggle: :roll: :angel: :wiggle: :roll:

WOW ILSE!!!!!!! You must be so proud of yourself. I would be! I have 150# to lose too. The goal seems SO far away...but you make it seem possible. THANK you.:) Enjoy your new life, take care.

I still have a long way to go, but it feels great. I got some new clothes on Saturday (I have been buying them in dribbles) I was excited to be able to fit into a medium in turtlenecks and certain tops.

Way to go Ilse! What a great accomplishment. You are an inspiration. Congrats, Susan

Just a quick update. I have officially started menopause in November, with the night sweats and hot flashes. My weight has been bouncing around. But, I am still under 150 pounds lost, most of it from doing CALP.

I don't know how menopause will slow down the weight loss. JUst wanted to share.

Awesome job! You make it seem possible for the rest of us. Keep being an inspiration--it helps!
