I joined in mid March. I'm down almost 23 pounds since then and have about 20-25 more to go. I had to get a new pair of jeans for this weekend and my kids keep telling me how skinny I look. (Kids are 16 yrs and 11 yrs). I was so happy when I purchased size 10's and 11's. My previous jeans were 16's. 10's are a huge accomplishment since I was in a 12 before I was pregnant with 1st child. It is one thing for other people to notice that something is different, or that I've lost weight, but to hear it from my kids means so much more. As teens and pre-teens can be painfully honest about people and their weight.

    Thanks everyone! I'm really feeling unstoppable now. I was worried about this weekend because there is a big festival going on that I'm involved with. I don't have time to get workouts in and there is 'fair' food. So far it's going very well. And now I'm confident that I will meet my goal and will be able to maintain even with weekends like this.
