Default 50 lbs. lost!!! By me, the binger!!!!

I cannot believe it. I actually lost 50 lbs. It came with a lot of hard work and a lot of sweat, but it was all worth it. Every single drop!!!! I'm so excited!!! It's not just the pounds on the scale. I feel like a whole new woman. I feel alive and happy to go out. I feel stronger and more motivated about other challenges in my life! Yipppeeeeeee!!! I don't know if I could have done it without the constant support of the amazing people on this site. I am shouting from the rooftops: "THANK YOU 3FATCHICS!!!!!!!!!!"

Pmteub, I'm so glad you found that in my post! It CAN be done. Don't pressure yourself and rush to lose quick. It takes time.

Thanks for your posts, luvja and yoyodieterinlasvegas. I SO appreciate it!

luckymommy - I can't believe you are down to 150! That must be an awesome feeling. I feel like it's impossible to get down 25 pounds so it is great to read about your accomplishment! Where are the pictures???

JamieJo, I still have 4 lbs. to go before I reach 150, which might take a while, but that's ok.

reddahlia, I'm so glad my post gave you renewed energy. I have used this site for that purpose a lot. The main thing I learned is to get back up after I stumble. I stumbled a lot and that's why I wanted to post. I have a major problem with binge eating. I have had binges that lasted for months in the past. Now, if I binge, I don't let it linger. I tell myself that it's just one small period of time and in the big scheme of things, it's not that terrible, in terms of damage done. I try my darnest not to binge, but I still do it. It just so happens that when I get back on track, I lose the weight I put on and then some. It's better not to do it, but if you have an issue with it, why not work it in your favor? I hope that's not bad advice. Please don't use this advice to fall off track if you have the same problem.

Hugs ya'll!

Luckymommy you are an inspiration.

I like your words about bingeing though and I think they are realistic rather than "bad advice". No binge is bad enough to beat myself up about; that just leads to giving up. So if I binge, I try to just slow down and get back on the horse as soon as I can.
