72 pounds gone!
 

I'm happy to report that I've lost 72 pounds of the 100 lb. goal I set for myself :carrot: . It's taken me about 1 year and 3 1/2 months - doing everything at my own (slow) pace.

I was so afraid to start - because I was afraid to fail. Then, once I started losing - I was afraid the loss would stop and regain would start. When everything in my life got really stressful and crazy (late last November) - I thought it would fall apart.

But at every turn, I've kept succeeding. I'm strong than I ever thought I could be - and as it turns out, I was all along - once I got past the fear to try.

So come on and try with me - we'll reach out goals together! :hug:

hi
 

FANTASTIC YOU GIVE ME HOPE!:carrot:

Great Job!!!!!!

Incredible work! How has your new found strength effected other aspects of your life? It seems like I've gotten more adventurous and wondered if anyone else has that experience. Great Job!

That is great!! Keep up the great work :)

CArdiomaster....that is fantastic.!!! I am sooooo happy for you!! See what happens when you have faith in yourself. Girl that is great!!! :) not too far to go to hit that 100 pound mark and I have every faith in you that you will succeed!!! :)

Wow! Congradulations!

Wow! You are truly an inspiration!

Congratulations!

wow! i hope to be like you and stick to my healthy ways for at least 1 year!

Go Girl! What you said about you being strong all along you just didnt know it, reminds me of the book " Who Moved My Cheese" where the moral of the story is : What would you do if you werent afraid? Very good book, and you can relate it to almost anything in your life.. .I definitely recommend it. You could probably read it in one evening, its short, simple and pretty profound.

Great Job!! :dance:

:cp: :woo: :dancer: Wow, 72 lbs keep it up! Truly an inspiration.

That's so wonderful! Congratulations and way to go on all the hard work!

(cue that funky music) :dancer: (let's boogie!)

72lbs is amazing, great job!

OMG - that's AMAZING!!! You must feel so great - that's a massive accomplishment. You're truly an inspiration!!!

Congratulations!!! I'm just a little over half way there and I can totally relate to what you are saying!

I'm so impressed that you kept on doing the right things in spite of your fears. What an inspiration you are! :carrot:

Thanks everyone!

I'm definately :cloud9: right now - and with only 28 pounds to go - I feel like I could take on the world.

Hope this feeling lasts through the weekend - when I'll be facing down the traditional Easter basket of goodies and family dinner.

Wishing us all :goodvibes through the upcoming holidays!

WHOOHOO!!! That is awesome! I was afraid to start mine as well - as like others so many starts & so many fails... Just takes the right "diet" to find you and you are off!

Fantastic Job!!!!

That's incredible! You should be so incredibly proud of yourself-- we're all proud of you! :high:

Wow, that is amazing. Congrat's. I also did not think I was capable of losing this weight. As I began to see the loss, I became stronger and had more faith in myself. This really is a battle in self-esteem and willpower, but it makes us realize that we are so much more capable of success than we ever believed.

That is fantastic, Lisa!! Way to go! :cheer:

Congrats!! Slow and steady is the way to go!

Congratulations to you! Your post is just what I needed to read today as I'm feeling a little tired of the whole healthy eating thing. You and I have the same starting weight and because of your post I am feeling better now! Thanks! :)

LOL I know you are right... but I'd still take fast and furious if it were a healthy option! :dizzy:

Wow! Congratulations on 72 lbs.gone forever :carrot: Keep up the awesome work!!:carrot: :carrot: :carrot:

Congrats :)
