57 lbs gone - 1/2 way to goal!

Thanks so much Liliann! I am sure I'll be seeing yours one day soon too! You can do it too!

Hey Apple, Thanks for all the support! Yes, 57 lbs to me now sounds like nothing.... considering it was 114 just a few short months ago. When I think about all I've done, all the exercise, how much food I've given up, etc... it's pretty mind-blowing, but I have enjoyed the journey so much and LOVE how I'm looking now (except for the looseness of my skin...unfortunate side effect). I really do wish I would have done this years ago when I only had 57 lbs to lose. Back then, I remember that sounded like a HUGE amount of weight to me and I really didn't think I could do it. Now, I KNOW I can. Try not to put too much stress on the 7 months thing....you have a lot less to lose than I did, and it's slowing down considerably over the last few months. As long as you see a downward trend on that scale every 1-2 weeks, you're doing GREAT! I get so many compliments now, it's amazing.... so I didn't need to be 135 to accomplish looking better... about 20 lbs in, I started hearing that.... so focus on small goals and meet them. A bunch of small goals add up to 1 BIG goal and you won't feel as deprived or frustrated. LOVE the journey and the personal growth that comes from freeing yourself of the unwanted fat. You are a work in progress.....and an amazing one at that! ;-D Veronica
