in Success Stories
So today I officially got under 200 pounds! I haven't seen a 1 in the front for probably 2 years. I've lost about 23 pounds so far. I am nowhere near ready for a before and after but I just wanted to share my little success! :D I'm starting to feel a lot better about my body and feel so much stronger. I'm also finally at a place where eating isn't a huge challenge for me anymore. Of course I get cravings sometimes and give in occasionally...but I don't feel powerless to my cravings anymore. Anyway, can't wait to follow up with another 20 pounds loss! I want to lose another 50 in the long run, but keeping your eye on small goals is the key. So I'm not even THINKING about 50 or else it gets overwhelming. All the little pounds add up to a big amount! :)

    Thanks guys! It feels great to finally hit that personal milestone. Never wanna see the 200's again! I wish I could hug Jillian Michaels....her DVDs did the trick for me! That and extra cardio and calorie counting of course. :)

    Congratulations!! You deserve it. I am right behind you. You just inspired me to buy the JM DVD - I have been pondering this all day today and yopu literally just sealed the deal by posting this.

    Well done!
