I began my weight loss journey in February of this year. Since then I have lost 41 pounds!!! I have gone from wearing a size 14/16 to wearing a size 4/6 in clothes. I recently took my "fat wedding ring set" to have it resized and I have gone from wearing a size 7 1/2 to a size 5 1/2 for the solitaire and a size 8 to a size 6 for the wedding band. I can now wear my "prefat" wedding ring set that I started wearing 21 years ago and that's something that I haven't been able to do in 8 years or so. I have approximately 4 more pounds to lose before I reach my goal weight and even if I don't get to my goal weight I am so pleased with what I have accomplished!!! When I began this journey I never thought that it would be possible to be as "skinny" as I am today. Thank you MFP for making me feel "accountable" for what I was eating and for helping me to stay motivated to exercise. I send a special thanks to my friends that have encouraged me when I wanted to just give up and quit! Good luck to those just starting out...It can be done...And good luck to all those who are reaching their goal weight...Let's keep the pounds off for a healthier world!!! :drinker: :drinker: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Thanks for sharing this very inspiring story of yours!!! I have been meltin' myself, but have struggled the past couple of weeks. I'm thinking that with all the compliments, and my weighing less than I have in 7 or so years, I am feeling too good....:laugh: Gotta get back to my determination - commitment and focus so that I can hit my goal. Again, thanks so much for this post -- very motivational!!!
