Hey, everyone, this is Deb from Thailand here. I just want you all to know I jumped on the scale this am. dreading it as I have had a heavy chest infection and could not exercise for a week) and found to my joy that I had lost 5 and a half pounds...bringing my total loss in the past 10 weeks to 21.5 pounds. Hoorrraaay for me!!! Hoorray for myfitnesspal.com! and especially hooray to Jesus for giving me the courage at the age of 50 to try again.

Only 129 lbs to go. I will do it.

    Thanks you guys. I must say I have really loved being a part of this community. I find so much encouragement and accountability here. The accountability is mainly personal...in making sure I log my food and exercise each day. But the encouragement just reading all your posts, not just to me but to the many others on this board who write in on bad days. Well you are all just too too terrific. Bless you each and every one!:flowerforyou:

    Just had to post this new, ( however unplanned, no make up, etc) pic as I have noticed my cheekbones are finally re-emerging. Hoorrrayyy for cheekbones!

    (It will be quite some time until other bones reemerge on me, so I celebrate whenever I can!!!:laugh: )

    :flowerforyou: Looking good Deb!

    I only have my school pic that gets done every year and although it is my best so far, I still look to cheeky for my liking lol.

    Enjoy every second of your success.
