Hey Ladies,

I am a bellydancer and suffered an injury a couple of years ago and in one single year packed on 40+ lbs. i am shocked everyday when I go to get dressed. None of my costumes fit and they are either really expensive or have tons of hours put into them if I made them myself. i am just crushed. i know the dance is about owning it, but my 'it' has left the building.
I just rejoined weight watchers, it has worked before, but I feel like I can't relate to any of the office ladies there. I am mostly vegan, even raw, I can't relate to the products everyone talks about. aargh!
Anyway, just looking for support. I lost two pounds this week! Only f#@@%$ 47 more to go!

Good Luck to everyone! May all of our hottie dreams come true in 2012!

2 pounds!!! That is great! One step at a time, you can do it

congrats on your two pounds! and belly dancing is great exercise.

you know you can always find some like-minded folk on 3FC : ) so hang in there -- you deserve it!

I haven't posted for a long time but always find it inspirational to browse the posts.

Two pounds is awesome!! You can definitely do this and 3FC is a really wonderful resource for cool tips and great support! Make sure that you don't take your pounds lost for granted, one of the only ways to continuously feel good about your weight loss is to, not only set realistic goals, but to make sure to acknowledge every pound as a personal victory!

Two pounds is a great start! You gotta start somewhere right? Just keep it up!

Hang in there! It will come off a little at a time and you'll be happy with your results if you stick to your plan.
