Reached A Milestone Today

[JenniferB]

On May 1 this year iwhen the gender dysphoria really struck me, I set a goal to lose weight by diet and exercise. At the time I weighed 255 pounds. Well...this morning when I stepped on the scale I weighed in at 199.8 pounds. I can't believe I've lost 55 pounds in 4 months. I never starved myself either, although losing the last 5 pounds took a few weeks. I'm not done yet, I still need to lose more in the gut. So I've been concentating heavily on abdomen exercises. My goal at the start was to reach 185 pounds as the max. I feel I'm in the home stretch.

It's amazing when you achieve a goal or reaxch a milestone how much the action melts away depression and builds self-esteem. And it's something to build on.

Love Jenny

WOW- congratulations girl. I am also loosing weight but haven't achieved even close to you. I started at 302lbs in feb and am currently at 273- 29lbs lost. I did start hormones in April so I think that has slowed me down a bit. I no longer wish for 200lbs cause I am going to do it. Even if it takes a while.

But today is about your achievements. Once again congratulations. A job well done. Good luck on those last few pounds. (even though you don't need any luck)

Luv Nadine

Miss our talks - grin! Now I see what you have been up to - losing that other part of you, literally - losing some pounds! GRAND

Please stay healthy on your diet. The rule is 1 pound a week and not to exceed 2 pounds a week. However, when starting out most people carrying a lot of weight DO lose a good part rather quickly. But now on - make sure your rate of loss is reasonable - so you can (1) keep it off and (2) look good when you get to your goal.

Again - congradulations.

Congrats, Jen! That's what I call will power. Not too far to go now.

You will make your goal, I'm certain of it.
