It's SUCH a good feeling! I've been trying to lose weight for so long. I went on all sorts of mad diets and was miserable! I'd lose weight but pile it all back on again when I inevitably gave up. It finally clicked a couple of months ago that I could lose weight and still eat what I like (CAKE!) just by cutting down on portions a bit! I'm halfway to my goal now and I feel amazing! I'm so much more confident already!

I hope you guys are all doing as well as I am!
We can all achieve our goals and we don't need crash diets to do it!

    Isn't it great? I'm over halfway to my goal weight but I feel fantastic. My hubby keeps complimenting me and I feel like I look good in my clothes. I'd like to lose another 9 pounds but think I'll be absolutely thrilled in 5 pounds.

    I feel the same way about MFP! :love: It really IS a fantastic feeling to have so much more confidence, and also feel so much better about yourself! :bigsmile:

    Thanks guys! I'm really glad I found this site! Everyone is so supportive and I love to hear about everyone else's success!
    allmac92 - I know I only joined in Jan but really my ticker is counted since November. I thought I be more encouraged that way but I don't want to give people the impression that I lost all this weight in a month!

    That's a relief to know you've been doing it longer. I thought I would have to chop of a limb to catch up with you :laugh:

    Good work! Have you sat down and felt like it was a little hard on your bottom - feeling the bones back there? That is when I knew I was getting slimmer. Not as much "padding" back there. :glasses:
