edited October 2024 in Success Stories
It's not a nice round number, true - but after my doctor appointment yesterday where I astounded both the nurse AND the Dr.. I can't help but be thrilled about my success so far.
My blood pressure, while never a concern, is lower. I have more energy (although I'm still tired) and I look better.
In the past, I'd shy away from the camera or make sure I was the one behind it taking the pictures. Now I'm actually liking the pictures I see and while I still want to lose another 50ish pounds, I'm nearly half way to my goal and I've proven to myself that IF I try.. I CAN do this.

Hopefully the picture posts but this was taken this morning in one of my newer outfits (as none of my other clothes fit)

    Congratulations! Looking great, so pretty. You are doing so well. We started about the same place and you are just a bit ahead of me. I'll keep following your lead because you are headed in the right direction.

    It's nice to have friends with the same goals and interests ie, hot(cold), sexy, fictional men. LOL

    Keep up the good work.

    Thank you again everyone - I couldn't have done it (as well as I have so far) without this page and all the support I've received from friends and strangers alike on here.
