I wanted to share my success and give gratitude to the those who developed and those who maintain CC...
I signed up for CC on August 12th...It's made it so easy to actually confront how much I eat. Before CC, I never paid attention to calories or how much I was ingesting. Now that I've made myself a plan for 1400-1800 calories per day, I look back on my pre-CC habits in disgust. (Many days in excess of 4500 calories of pure junk food)
So far I have successfully lost about 31 pounds since starting (I don't know the exact amount because I didn't know my weight until the 4th day of the diet) I have removed several points from my BMI and am getting compliments every day.
CC has made it so easy and I know without a doubt that I can carry through to my goal weight.
I would pay for CC's service...(but don't tell the decision-makers at about.com that) Thanks CC!
That's wonderful!! I started August 20th & have lost 16.4 lbs. I too am disgusted by what I used to eat. It's so great to be able to see everything in black and white. I love this sight & it's sooo easy!! Keep up the great work!!
AMEN!!!
I have been at it since April, am down almost 35 and am sooo grateful for the support, wealth of educational info., friends I've made. It's all truly an answer to my prayers!
Thank you moderatots, experts, and everyone who takes time to post your success stories, and your struggles, too. We are all in this together, and we can all reclaim health and the happiness that goes along with it.
Thanks to CC I can now keep track myself, I dont have to go to those various places to be weight in, not to knock them but I find it easier to be accountable to myself and not others. I know what I need to do now I just need to do it! I have read every book and went to so many programs that I can probably run m own club. But this is about me, me loving me enough to do whats right for me and my family will follow suit. Thanks to CC Im on my way, keep up the good work Smokysmom you too inspire me.
I've been a participant on CC for a bit of time now and this is my first post...because I was very moved by the sense of gratitude. I, too, am grateful for the terrific resources and motivational efforts by EVERYONE invovled in this endeavor. I often do not take the time to express my appreciation, but jbylsma prompted me to to do so.
I am maintaining my weight loss and I am 100% certain is is because of CC and the courageous people I connect with (even if I do not reply, post, etc.). Best wishes to all and THANK YOU!
