I hit a big one!!

O.K.- time to toot the old horn....I hit 50 pounds down this morning!!! I am so grateful to CC and all of the people here, because without this site and all of the useful information and great support from all of You, it would have been hard to have this success.  I have a few photos posted in my profile, so if anyone is interested in looking, you can really see the difference.  I hope this motivates anyone today who might be feeling like they can't do this-you can!

Congrats!  You are doing fantastic!!! And you're hard work definitely shows!

 WOOHOO!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Woot! Woot! Woot! Woot!

What a fantabulous, incredibilistic, over-the-top, Snoopy-Happy-Dance sort of milestone!!!!

YAY for you!

YAY for you!

YAY for you!

YOU GO GIRL!

=^..^= MOLLY

Congrats!  That is Super-fantasti-listic! I bet that put a big ole' smile on your face, a great way to start the weekend!

You look awesome!! Your face and neck are much more defined and what a lovely smile you have!

Congrats on 50lbs!!!  :)

See what I mean-you are all so supportive and I appreciate it.  It is nice to come here and know that we can all understand what each other is going through.  No matter what compliments or comments I receive from friends, these matter the most to me because I know...well, you just know!

P.S. Thanks for the sweet words, Abbynormal!

I looked at your pictures and you DO look different!  Very nice!!  I'm so happy and excited for you.  I also read your bio and it's so nice to hear that your family is getting healthy with you, and is supporting you.  Good for you!!  Isn't CC the best? 

Congratulations and keep up the AWESOME work!!! 

Thank you Deedus, I just read your comments this morning, and they were uplifting.  It's funny, because just the other day, my son tried one of my Ezekial 4:9 whole grain English muffins for breakfast, and said "These aren't so bad, Mom"! It's all baby steps....

On another note, I went out to dinner last night with a few girlfriends to celebrate, and had a really healthy dinner (roasted chicken, roasted potatoes and salad) and one of my friends said "Don't you feel guilty eating that?"  This is what I mean-people's view of dieting and food are soooo distorted these days.  I told her "Absolutely not".  And I don't, because I get to make these choices, and I get to live my life the way I choose.

Yes, you're right, people's view of dieting and food ARE so distorted these days.  People think that in order to eat healthy you have to have green salad all day with no dressing.  They don't realize that you can eat healthy, YUMMY food too.  It's just all about knowing what is healthy and knowing how to be creative so that you enjoy your food.  SOME PEOPLE!!!  PFFFTT!!!  :)

Congratulations!!!! Great work!

Way to go!! Keep it up.

WOW I can really see it in your face. It makes your eyes stand out more and your chin is much more defined.

Awesome work girl!

Keep it up. One day I will be there too I can't wait.

CONTGRATS!!!!!

Congratulations!!!!

Congratulations!

Yahooooooo!  Way to go, girl!  Check you out!  That's so awesome!  You look so great, you can totally see a difference in your pics!  Wahoooooooooo!

I can't wait until I hit that mark.  You must feel like a million dollars!!!!!
