in Success Stories
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! 2012Progress_zpsca86487e.jpg

    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!

    OK - I just DID NOT EAT A COOKIE because of you, lady!

    Thanks for posting your pics - you did great & you are inspiring.

    Here's to NOT EATING THE COOKIES!

    haha that totally made me chuckle! Great job with NOT eating the cookie, but I have learned (as have most of us) its not about depriving its about moderation and common sense!
