Well done you :drinker:
That's incredible, and only 20lbs to go woo-hoo:drinker:0 -
You go girl...that is so so so awesome!!!!! I have sum one new to look up to!!!!0
-
That's great! Awesome job on the weightloss
However, is rewarding yourself with food really the best idea? I don't mean to sound rude, but it just seems counterproductive. I usually reward myself with a facial or a new outfit - something NOT related to food and the bad crap that got me to my highest weight ever.0 -
That is wise advice (above) however... A cheeseburger happy meal can always break my plateaus! And I think it's a great "treat" - by loosing 80lbs she has surely learned that this is a VERY RARE food.
(also delicious)
Way to go! Have both! (cheeseburger and a facial!)0 -
Congratulations! That's fantastic!
I think you should splurge with a McFlurry too!!! :laugh:0 -
You are AWSOME........CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!0
-
WTG!!! and enjoy your cheeseburger very much earned!!!0

Yes I could go get a facial instead of happy meal but also think that six months ago I would had had a super sized cheeseburger meal, if I ate that now I would puke.!!!!!! You gotta splurge every once in a while anyways, its good to change things up and if my calories allow it then why not????0
-
get your happy meal. clearly you know what to do, 80 lbs lost is AMAZING!!!! Congratulations!!:flowerforyou:
the "don't reward yourself with food" is good advice for newbies, to break themselves of old habits- but she has obviously changed her old ways!!0 -
That happy meal might not taste so good now that your habits have changed! Congrats!0
-
you are so so so right, the things I am eating now are things I would have never dreamed of eating 6 months ago......Thanks0
-
congrats, you are doing so great. Keep up the great work.0

Congratulations!!:flowerforyou: Savor every bite of your SMALL cheeseburger!!:laugh: But when you reach your goal, reward youself with a great new outfit or dress and VERY sexy shoes!!!:bigsmile: :bigsmile:0
