And you know how we all think about how we will be depriving ourselves when we embark on a weightloss journey. All the foods we have to pass up on and all the time spent exercising. I remember way back when I had first started out and told myself this time it was going to be different, I wasn't going to look at it as depravation. I was going to look at it as wow, this IS exciting. If I DO give up the bad stuff and DO take time to exercise that I really and truly can accomplish something. I really can make my life BETTER. That time will pass one way or another and if I stick to my plan I can absolutely and positively lose weight and improve my life. I don't know, this thread just reminded me of that. And I think you may have just helped a lot of people by showing them that. That is really is possible to change ones life around and you know what, it doesn't take all that long.
    That's exactly my point! I wasn't trying to give myself a pat on the back even though I do appreciate everyone's nice words. I was just realizing that days become weeks...and if you're on plan it just happens. I don't want to imply it was effortless, because everyone here knows that isn't the case, but it was NOT has difficult as I had felt it was going to be for all the years I didn't even try. I guess all I'm trying to say is that looking back, 17 weeks really isn't that long! It is DOABLE! The next 17 weeks is DOABLE...and the 17 after that! I can do this for the rest of my life!

    Mrs. Q. - I think our journey's being so similar is why I'm always just a TAD more exited for you when I hear of your success (if that makes any sense). I SOOOO look forward to us maintaining goal together!

    all around!

    That is so touching, and one of the big reasons why this forum is such a nice place! Besides your positive attitude, this sets the tone for how we support and benefit each other. Thank you, Tricia!
