Today had the potential to be another milestone Weigh-In Day. New Class, at a new time, new factors–eating real food–were added in, and I was gone for two weeks. HUGE nerves, but More Excitement. Wondering would I break the 200 pound barrier? I won’t make you wait for the reveal like I usually do ……….. there is a in the first number of my weight NOW! hahahah …. Happy dance …. Happy Dance …. do a little wiggle … do a little strut …. give me a LOUD shout-out …. I am below 200 pounds! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! 🙂
Am I happy …. ahhh … YEAH! This chica gets to buy a new piece of jewelry. Well, we may have an anniversary ring, that Mike got me years ago that NEVER fit, redone. I would love that. We will see what we should do once we go look later today.
This makes a Total loss while on OptiFast of 57.5 pounds. Hehehe! I know … I keep laughing … I can’t help myself. I have lost a total of 65.5 pounds since starting Loseit.com and working with Donna Jones.

Shonnie is a rock star! Again!
Talk about the mental relief of getting below 200… it’s crazy, isn’t it? Whudda thunk that number on the scale could be such an ego boost, but it is! And the weight will continue to peel off. It’s so fun discovering the skinnier person inside our protective layering. I am so, so, sooo proud of you and even happier for you! I, too, lost some weight prior to beginning the Optifast program and I love tacking on that extra ten pounds I had lost. Hey, we lost that weight, too!
Like I said, I’m sooo happy for you! And excited!
Beth, it is HUGE. That is why I am so nervous today–I really DO NOT WANT to jump back up to 200. I can stay the same, but no going back up!!
Exactly on the additional pounds … THEY ALL COUNT!! 🙂 I still can’t believe you have less than 25 pounds to go — that is SO AWESOME!
WHOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I am so very proud of you.
Thanks Debora. I miss walking with you! It was great seeing you on Friday, hope to see you tonight at Dance. 🙂
GREAT STEPS TO HEALTH AND HAPPINESS! CONGRATULATIONS SHONNIE! WELL DONE!

Shonnie,
You look GORGEOUS and you have inspired me to start my own blog. I too am an optifast patient. I just discovered your blog yesterday, but have read through it completely. I love all of the pictures as you look so happy and content. I am just beginning this journey, but feel confident that it is going to change my life for the better. It is nice to know that there are others with the same feelings and trials in this life. I am pleased to have found you and will continue to view and share.
Wishing you much continued success!
Live, love, laugh-
Lisa
Thanks Lisa,
I went and checked you out. I plan on following up on you … you are NOW on my blog roll. I have several other good OptiFast blogger buddies. Dean Jones (who has already made goal weight), Beth (A Leaner Me) and OptiFast Loser. When you can eat … there is the site Be Well.
Thank you so much for stopping by and checking me out. I hope we have a fun OptiFast Journey together.
