I have lost 31.5 lbs. so far and have 20 left to go. I can't wait. I am currently in a size 10 with a goal to wear a size 8. I am thinking that I may even get into a 6 by the time I reach my goal. I can't wait!!!:drinker:

    That is so awesome. I remember once when I was younger that I told my mentor I wanted to lose weight. I started at the same weight you started, and I told her that once I reached my healthy weight I wanted to be in a size 8. She told me that is wasn't possible. That I wouldn't be a size 8. You just totally inspired me. That was 9 years ago, maybe, I've gone up and down since then. But reading your post, it makes me think that I really can do it.
    Thank you so much. You just dispelled 9 years of a "you can't do it" attitude that I've carried around with me. I can't thank you enough. Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration. :happy: :happy: :happy:

    I've never thought of myself as an inspiration. I appreciate you saying that. The key thing for me is to picture what I want to be and just keep reminding myself. When I see something sweet to eat I just tell myself " Not right now, but I will eat it again someday" and then I just remember how far I have come and see that I don't really have that much further to go. I am a lot like you, if someone tells me I can't then I figure I don't need to try because they say I can't do it. Thankfully I have come across some positive people in my life that have told me I can, so I don't want to disappoint them, I can do it and I will.

    So, I just want to say YOU CAN DO IT, TOO and guess what? YOU WILL!! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!! Positive thinking and feelings go a long way.:flowerforyou:
