Thank you

I come here and read about your successes, your hard work and the payoff at the end of all that sweat. I see the pictures and I am thrilled. I don't even know you, I'll never meet you in person or talk to you on the phone. But I am grateful for your.

I am thankful that I am not alone in this journey---for a journey it is. A sweaty-up-and-down-thrilling-discouraging-nail-biting ride!

I've been on this particular ride for 56 days now and I've lost 17 pounds. I feel better. I look better. I AM BETTER!

Thank you all for motivating me with your amazing stories, your honesty, your pictures and your examples.

I stand in awe of you :drinker:

Congratulations! How did you lose so much so quickly? I've been here almost 60 days and I've lost 5? I'd love any tips!

What a nice thing to post, to everybody lucky enough to read this . I see a lot of negativity on the forums at times, so reading this was a breath of fresh air. Thanks to YOU for putting a smile on my face today. Congrats on your successes, and here's to many, many more! :drinker:

I think the reason I've lost 17 so far is due to the fact that I have a lot of weight to lose. It tends to come off faster on those of us who are overly 'fluffly'. At first anyway.

My food diary is open as is my exercise stuff. I've been drinking rivers of water and sweating out of lot of it in strength/weight training and cardio. I can look at the scale for two weeks and not see it move and then BOOM it slides down the next week.

I'm not a slave to the numbers on my scale. I do what I know I have to in the knowledge that it will all work out in the end.

Again---thanks to you all and your great stories and motivation. It means the world to me and to so many others I'm sure!
