What 50 lbs look like!

I reached the 50 lb mark a couple of weeks ago and celebrated by holding 50lbs of potatoes to demonstrate the extra weight I am no longer carrying around. It is amazing that just 6 months ago I was hauling this much extra weight around everyday. Feeling great!

    WTG!!
  • Awesome! Congratulations to you too! Feels great doesn't it?
  • I feel awesome!!
  • Thank you! And congrats to you too! I am 2 away from my goal of 60. I am still amazed how this program has transformed my life and outlook. Although my mind is still catching up with my smaller size. I started as a size 16 in March and last month purchased a size 6 pair of jeans. Last week, in going through Halloween decorations I came across my old cheerleaders skirt from HS some 30+++ years ago. I help it up and though nah, it won't fit...will it? So I tried it on and it fit. I must have said wow at least 20 times. The most important part of weight loss is what is happening inside my body...no longer prediabetic and blood pressure is normal. That was and is my main motivation for being at a healthy weight.

    Wishing you health and happiness!
