Finally Under 200 Pounds
Finally!
I'm officially under 200 pounds! My weight stayed under 200 lbs last 3-4 days consistently. Looks like it's real. I'm ahead of my weight loss schedule by a fraction, but I know I can ruin it ten times faster if I'm not sticking to what I'm doing right now.
It feels really good to see the number "1" in the front of my weight again. Gosh, I don't remember the last time I saw "1" on my scale. This morning, I weighed at 196-7, but I know I tend to weigh less in the morning hours. But I do understand that my weight loss is here to stay, not a temporary loss.
When I break 15 lbs weight loss mark, it will be a greatest achievement for me because I've never successfully lost over 15 lbs from my previous attempts. I still have over 30 pounds to lose, so it's not the time for a celebration.

I am desperate, I lost 170 pounds and stopped smoking on my own. But then I got right heart failure and lymphedema.
It is difficult for me to walk and I am on O2 24/7. I believe that if I can get into a facility that will deal with exercise, weight loss and lymphedema treatment I can get to a normal weight for me. I have at least 200 pounds to go but there are no places where I live that has this.
My MD will write whatever letters necessary. I have Medicare and soon Medicaid. I am 60 years old and I think I can be normal again with some help. Please help me!!!!!
