Never Thought I Could Do It !

I started this at the end of April and threw out the goal that I wanted to lose 50lbs by my birthday. I Did It ! On my actual birthday I was down exactly 50 lbs. I am no where near done but best birthday present ever. I have some very good supportive friends on here which keep me motivated :) I have had some great nsv's along the way as well : My clothes are to big, my wedding rings have been packed away for safe keeping after loosing them numerous times, I can walk a few miles without having to sit down and rest along the way, my butt hurts when I sit on the ground, I am freezing all the time (must have lost my insulation layer) , learning to play tennis not just chasing the erratic yellow ball, my daughter has also joined mfp... I still need to add more veggies to my diet but do have fruit everyday, which is an improvement. It all narrows down to one good choice at a time, one day at a time. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    This is so true and an important message. When making lifestyle changes it's easy to get overwhelmed and lose sight of the big picture. Congratulations and good luck on the rest of your journey!! :flowerforyou:
