Be Proud Of Me!

I've lost 15lbs!  That's the most I've ever lost on my own. 
Berfore I only lost because of morning sickness or it being too hot
outside to eat.  I have been here for 6 weeks and I can't believe
I'm finally doing it!  I have 20 more to lose, and I have no doubt
that I can!  I'm so proud of myself! How's everyone else's weight
loss going?  I love that we can keep eachother motivated here!

Congratulations! Great job! :D

Congratulations, have fun here, you'll love the people.

So exciting! That's a big milestone.

Great job, and keep it up!

you go girl :)

It a great thing 15 pounds, great!

congrats! that's awesome!!

take care.

Thank you!  so I've got a question, when do I expect a plateau?  When have you guys got one, because I think I'm bound to get one soon, or am I wrong?

good going ama!!!  :) 

plateaus have no rhyme or reason.. they happen and break of their own will.. there are things you can do to get out of one.. but you can't plan for one to come on..

I didn't hit a plateau until I got to the last 10lbs. upped my calories and my activity and lost 5 of it...now I'm plateaued again. time for me to amp up the workouts. ^_^

That is a job well done Ama!! I know you must be feeling great! I've lost 12 pounds and I look forward to 15 gone! Then I'll have about 30 more to go!

Wow!  15 pounds really is a lot to lose!!!!  I'm so excited for you!  Congratulations and GOOD WORK!

Congratulations, that is awesome, good for you... I can't wait till I can come here and say that..lol.. Keep up the good work

Whoot!!!  You go!!  Now it's time to hit the store for something special to remind yourself of your fantastic achievement.  My personal favs are a season of my favorite show, expensive bubble bath, nail polish or manicure/pedicure supplies.

Yep, I went out and got a $100.00 dress for a wedding this summer, that
is such a treat for me, I barely ever buy anything for myself!

good for you!  that's almost halfway to your goal!!  :-)

great job on your first 15!

As for plateaus, they can be at weights where in the past you were at for a long time.  It's like your body's way of remembering where you once were and saying "Ok, we're back.  We're done, right?"

So for example you get to say... 150 and you know 10 years ago that's where you were for a long time until 'X' event and you started gaining... blah blah blah.  Then you can expect a big plateau at 150.

Way to go! Keep up the good work.

Congrats! That's awesome! You're almost 1/2 way there!

almost half way there...  that really makes it seem easier!  Thanks for that perspective!

good job!!!!  You are very pretty!  Keep up the good work
