Hey bikinidreamin, I can't wait till you get your signature. It feels wonderful to be abe to track your progress and let everyone know how well you are doing! I feel when you have to answer to something you seem more dedicated. I know 20 days and 20 posts seems like for ever, but if you didn't have to work for it, it wouldn't mean as much to you! I know I love to come here on Saturdays and adjust mine. Although, I gained a pound on wednesday and I certianly didn't want to make the adjustment on it! LOL I did enjoy moving it this morning though!!! Good luck on your adventure, I prefer to call it that instead of a diet. Goodness knows every day of life is a new adventure, its up to you as to how much fun you want it to be!!

I am so excited to get my ticker today. It's funny how just a little graphic can be so exciting LOL

I got to watch my ticker move so much today. I finally hit my 20 pound mark, actually made it to 22 pounds loss today. It is so thrilling to make the change on my ticker and watch it slide to the side I want it to go! I hope everyone else gets as excited as I do about my signature and my added ticker to the bottom of it!! Hugs & kisses to all the wonderful people here that offer so much support! And to all the newbies, time and persistence gets you your signature and closer to the goals you have set for yourself!! Hang in there huns!!!

hey ya'll.. im stacy, 41, mommy of 6, living in southern ontario. just thought i'd pop in and comment on what ya'll were talking about earlier. people are commenting on us full figured gals all our lives, saying things like "why doesnt she just go on a diet?" or 'its too bad cuz shes got such a pretty face" ect... then... you start eating healthy and havent lost enough weight for anyone to notice and they try to sabatage (spell check) your efforts... like "are you sure you dont want a doughnut?" lol... you cant win no matter what ya do it seems. a few years ago i lost allot of weight... got within 2 -3 pounds of my goal weight. i was feeling special i tell ya... i had a pic of me with my sister in law hanging on my fridge forever. well... time went by and i got sloppy and gained it all back and then some. i met a new friend and we became good buddies... she was at my house one day and seen the pic, she says "whos this????" my little girl said "thats momma and auntie sarah!" (like how could you be so stupid attitude lol) my friend says.... "wow! you looked great! what happened?!?!" i almost died. i never felt the same about her after that, and now we are no longer friends. we need ppl in our lives who give us encouragement, not ones who rain on our parade. lol... just thought i'd share, sorry i got carried away...
