Stick in my yard!

Options
I found this site and began my adventure Jan 7 this year. It has been soooo helpful and motivating! My weigh-in is on Mon. This past Mon was the 11th week and I’ve lost 30 lb and I am so thrilled.

My hi-light was yesterday when I hauled out the trash can (50 gal size) and began to pick up sticks that had fallen from the trees in my yard, while I was doing this my youngest daughter and grandkids pulled up! My daughter was so tickled. Later I was at her home and my middle daughter stopped by & my youngest said to the middle daughter “I almost started to cry seeing mom in the yard, I’m so proud of her.” Let me tell you, that was awesome and of course really helps the motivation.:flowerforyou:

I just wanted to share this with everyone. It works, good luck to all of us! Have a wonderful day.:drinker:

    I am glad that she said that and made you feel good. I know a month ago when my three year old pulled up my shirt and poked my belly with his pointer finger and said ewwwww I knew I needed to do something, he is mostly non verbal so for him to say that really hurt, I know he didn't understand what he had done but that was the beginning.

    Keep up the good work

    Way to go!!! Compliments. It's wonderful when people can stop and notice that you've made some positive changes. It helps to reinforce what we've been able to accomplish so far.
    30 lbs...I'm impressed. Keep it going because it's working!
