Halfway there, Thank you!

I just wanted to shout out everyone on MFP and say thank you! I've lost almost 43 pounds and I couldn't have done it without a special lady in my life who keeps me working out and motivated and by taking the advice and support from so many of you and I just wanted to say thank you! I'm beyond the half way point of my weight loss journey and I know that everyone here played a factor. In these last 5 months I've been stressed and wanted to give up but I kept fighting and I can finally start seeing the results and the finish line. I've went from a pants size of 42 to a 38, a XXL shirts to large, and people are noticing the difference and I'm really greatful. In phase 2 of my journey i'm debating incorporating GNC 25 protein shakes to my diet to push my weight loss even further while I continue to work out but not sure if it will be beneficial based on varying reviews I have read on here. But in any case I just wanted to say thank you and let's keep losing together!
