Fantastic.

I have reached a major milestone before the end of the year. I have lost 100 pounds since I started my journey toward health and wellness.

From January through June it was a major struggle to control cravings and binging. I would go out to buy a bag of gourmet cookies to console myself whenever the scale showed gain. Then in July I went on a hike up a mountain with a friend. That showed me that once I made it to to the top I had more to do. I swore that I would get a handle on my life. I started tweaking my woe using mainly Atkins '72 but also body builders tips.

So the second part of this year was the greatest. I feel strong healthy and happy moving toward maintenance. I wrote in my journal that I never wanted to celebrate my birthday (December 22) obese or overweight again. And I have done it.

Congratulations!
What an accomplishment! Thanks for sharing with us.

Congrats!!

Congratulations! You should be very proud of yourself!
What an amazing accomplishment.

Thanks Beth, Midwife and Tammy. I appreciate all of the compliments.

100 LBS! That is totally amazing! If you can do it, I can it too! I keep telling myself that when I see all the amazing stories of people who have lost 100 lbs or more, WAY TO GO!!!

That's just amazing. Thanks for sharing. You must have learned so much.

YES YOU CAN!
Yep, its not just about weight. Why it happened is a long sad tale. I will convert the negativity to becoming a wellness educator. I am one course away from my instructor diploma.


Thanks extasee, Julie, and luvja.

Neat! You will be so effective.

That is actually super inspiring! That is what I am trying to do....100 in a year. It seems so out of reach but somehow hearing you celebrate reminds me that it can happen for me too! Thank you so much for sharing!

JulieJ08: Thanks, it will be fun.

purpleorc: Thank you.

erinmagill:My signature shows that the loss is not in one year. I have lost almost 50 this year. I've heard of people who do it in one year but not me. Thanks.

Cie, CONGRATULATIONS. That is wonderful news.

Thanks so much.
