Sometimes I get down because I feel as if I'm not losing weight fast enough. A death in the family, lost a job, broke up with my man, and yet here I stand successful in many things: including weight loss, a double masters degree, cancer survivor, etc! My beautiful niece was born two weeks ago and at that point my log in counter went by the wayside, but up until then I had logged in for 215 days and here are my results.

today :)

stats: October 1-April 28 -35lbs, down from size 22 to 16 (even down half a shoe size!)
Two weddings coming up! Bridesmaid in September (and I have to order a new dress now!!! They cannot alter mine down four sizes!) and bridesmaid next June- can't wait to see what another year will bring.

Also, on June 2 I will be four years cancer free. There was another test done a few weeks ago and CANCER FREE!! :) Thanks for al of the support from my friends on MFP and my family, of course. You CAN do it! I am now as small as I was when I graduated from my Bachelor's degree in 2006. 30 more and I'll be where I was in high school!!! :) Check out my profile for more recent pics- these are just the best body shots I had.

Best of luck.
With love and laughs,
Stacey

    Congratulations on being cancer free for 4 years!!! The weight loss is amazing too but as a cancer survivor I know the feeling of being cancer free year after year. I'm 10 years off treatment on June 28th this year. The time starts flying by after this.

    Congratulations on everything!
