Down 40lbs ready to finish off the last 30ish! (with pics)

ccpowers

So weight has always been an issue, big surprise NOT as it seems to be with most of us here. I have decided this is the last time I am doing this yo-yo thing and so far, not so horrible. The beginning of the year I was on a roll (and therefor losing some of those rolls) and life happened with health issues in the family which threw me in a different direction. I did not get out of control but did not get further ahead either. I know what i need to do and I know what works for me. I am no longer going to let what others say or do affect my mindset (well ok Im still working on this but it will happen eventually). Although I still have a ways to go, I started looking through some pics and realized that I have already come a long way and I need to acknowledge the successes I have already. And this may help me to once again focus on future successes! I am (right at this moment anyway) determined that I can get rid of this last 30 this year. This is my goal and I would love any support, encouragement and *kitten* kicking! Thanks!

Thanks so much everyone! I am 5'1 so the gaining shows VERY quickly and losing does not seem to! You are all so kind, I feel better, believe I look better but am over all healthier so I can not even imagine how much better this is going to get!

ps. those boots are the first boots I could ever get over my calves (mindya they are a 1/2 size to big so that they would) now I can pull them on without unzipping and there is even room! Can not wait until I can purchase a new pair of 'hooker' boots that fit!

I too, have been a pro yo-yo'er!!!:laugh: I was on a roll the first part of the year as well and then gained some back. I've been doing great for the last couple of months and feeling awesome! Ready to get to my goal weight and keep motivated!

Add me if you like!:happy:
