Well the first 35 came off fairly easily but let me tell you I have been battleing the last 5 pounds for over a month. I am happy to say that I am back on track and down 41 pounds. I hate a plateau, I decided to drop my calories to 1400 from 1700 and see if that helps things along and it appears to be doing the trick. I actually bought a pair of goal pants at Costco in a size 16 as motivation. When I got home I tried them on to see how far I need to go before I can do them up...I was shocked to see that I could so them up although the are a bit tight in the tummy. Made my day, a regualr size not a plus size WOW.

So today is full of NSV and SV's!! I have found this website the most valuable tool to help keep me motivated and constantly remind me of why we are hear and what we are trying to achieve. I hope everyone has victories really soon, as it feels amazing!

soon to be thin....that is AWESOME!!! What a great feeling to be down a size. I keep thinking about going out and buying me a pair of 12 jeans to have on hand to keep trying on. Congrats on the big 40!!! Keep up the awesome job!!

Great job. It's so wonderful when surprizes like that bless us.

Rock on! 41 pounds is a HUGE accomplishment, and you should feel incredibly proud of yourself!

I am following Dr. Oz's You on a Diet book and I am doing hardcore workouts for 60 minutes classes 5-6 times per week. I do kick boxing, step classes and weight training classes, plus walk the dog daily. The high intensity classes really help
