I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for making the past 2 months so successful for me. Most people that knew I was starting the SBD right before Thanksgiving gave me grief, but I knew in my heart the time was right. If I didn't start then, well who knows when the next right time would come around again. Maybe years, the way I am. So along with one friend close to home, my best support and information came from you all. I had a really good start, but my secret goal was to hit 30 pounds gone by the new year. It was a stretch given the holidays and all, but technically it was doable. Well, thanks to you all I made it! I read the posts and tried your recipes and they made such a difference in the fun factor and the chances of doing it. So thank you - thank you, thank you, thank you!

They say pictures are worth a thousand words, so I thought I'd share these before and after pictures to convey the difference so far. 30 pounds doesn't show much on me, but I think you can see it in my face.


Thanks again!

Congratulations! (Jeez, your face is familiar in the pictures. Do I know you from somewhere?)

That truly is awesome considering all of the challenges that we face over the holidays. You should feel very proud of yourself!

Happy Apple!!!!!!! Hey, if you can lose like that during the holidays, then you can do it ALL YEAR with no problems, chica! Great work!!!!!!!!!

Congrats!!!

You are a really good apple...You started at the worse time of year but you held on and this proves just what kind of apple you are...Strong! Congratulations!

Aw shucks, thank you. I just knew it was the moment to start and I felt that it was one of those defining moments and I wasn't going to waste it. But I'm telling you, SBD has sure been the way to go. I never expected to lose what I did. It's slowing down a lot now and I'm all good with that. You all made a huge impact on me and made the success I've had possible. I have to admit it's a good feeling, being 30 pounds farther along that I would've been if I'd talked myself out of it like I have every other time.

As for the pictures, why yes they're pictures of me that I just chose at random. Well, maybe not quite . . . well, okay not at all. But hey, everyone gets to dream once in a while, hhahaah!

Thanks again - you all are the best!
