Way to go!! The halfway point is a BIG deal.... good for you. You are an inspiration for sure. :)

Thanks everyone for the encouragement! I'm convinced the second half will feel like it goes faster than the first half! Now i'm so used to it, I don't even crave pasta or bread... I crave extra brown rice or wheat pasta! Isn't that the strangest thing!

So excited! I only gained 1.5 on vacation! and all we did was eat! Came back and actually stuck to the plan for at least 4 days! I can't wait to weigh in this week. :)

How exciting! I can't wait to be able to do that!

I haven't been here in about a week! Our exchange student is getting ready to go back to Korea, so it's been a busy week getting him ready. And the kids are out of school now too, so my computer time is a bit limited.

Anyway, I weighed in on Friday, and SOOO wanted to hit 20 lbs gone...but I was at 19. So I'll take it, it was still a 2 lb loss! And I know for sure I'll have another good loss on Tuesday or Wednesday. And I finally got my signature, so I have a ticker now. It's the little things that make me happy! :)

I know it is the second to last day of May, but I just have to reply!

As an 18 year old who's parents are runners who have never struggled with their weight, it is nice to have adults that are on that same path as me, as people to look up to! These posts are inspiring! They make the feelings of being left out when your friends go out for ice cream and you can't and the fear of not fitting in in food-related events a little easier to bear. I know I am only on Day 2 of the meta-slim program, but I am motivated. I want to lose 29 more pounds by August 1st, so my trip to Disneyland with my parents, and my start of college is enjoyable. I'm ready to love me, and love who I'm becoming. I'm ready to wear cute clothes and to go to the pool without being self-concious. I [I]am[I] ready to change. Thank you for bring inspiring individuals.

current weight loss
 

So I lost my grandmother about 15 days ago:stress:, I loss 4 lbs the week of her funeral. Then the week after loss 1/2 lb and the second weight in of the week I stayed the same. So I was a little frustrated about the stalling of my weight loss, so I went in on Saturday and have loss 4 lbs. It was also time for my tinata, 4 more inches down total 41.5 inches in 99 days.:cloud9::cloud9:

So sorry to hear about your grandmother. I am an emotional eater and commend you for losing weight with such sad news. I would have most likely gained. It's the challenging times that shows us how strong we can be.

Great job with your tinata results!!!! I have only just begun... am on day 3 of the meta-slim (days 1-4) and am really looking forward to some concrete results.

I also live in Cary, NC!!! We are neighbors. :)

Keep up the great work.

Wendi, the class went great. I was able to learn more about the program and now have a better grasp on everything. I was disappointed to learn that the fruit servings went down to once per day!
I did the same as you, I stocked up on the HNS's but didn't even buy any creamies. I think I can have them now though!
I hope everything is going well for you!
