Two Years Later....

I just wanted to share that I am now just about two years into my new lifestyle....and I have never been happier.  Although my weight loss has slowed, it is still coming off and I WILL eventually reach that magic number.

For all of you here that are just beginning or are frustrated today, take heart.

If you work CC, it will work for you!!  I am healthier mentally and physically, I feel sexy in my own skin and I will never go back.

I posted some photos, two years ago and now.  I can see the difference choosing health made for me.  I hope this can inspire you too.

Wow, what a difference - great job ddugan - you look wonderful!

Thanks!!  

ddugan, you look FANTABULOUS!  Thanks for the words of encouragement!

:)

Thank you so much for showing those pictures! I love seeing before and afters because someday I might be able to be there! So many congratulations!!!!!

I'm not sure how you should apply..but you should go under Blog and under Success story and post your story for CC readers to read--because you are a success story!! You look amazing, I remember when you 1st started--you have come so far and look amazing :O)

Thanks,bootster1.  I feel like much of the success I have had can be attributed to the community here at CC.  You all make me feel like I can do this.  I want those who are just starting here, or are struggling to know that we are there for them, too.  :)

wow!!

you look awesome!!!!! thanks for sharing the photos! so inspirational!

Holy crapoli you look amazing!! So much younger and healthier and so happy. I am following in your footsteps....I'll be there someday too!

BTW I had the exact same top as the one your "the full picture" pic, when I was at my biggest. It's long gone but I recognized it in that pic. Funny!

Thanks, victoriagirl.  You will be there someday, I know it.  Just stay here at CC, and we will see your new pictures soon!

BTW, I hated that top I wore on my 40th birthday.  Lane Bryant, the only place I could find anything half-way decent at that point.    I think you could tell in that picture I wasn't comfortable in my own skin.

WOW, amazing for continuing a healthy lifestyle for 2 years!

You look so beautiful - congratulations! Thanks so much for the encouragement as well - after so much yo-yo 'dieting' over the years, it always helps so to hear these stories where a real life style change has been made over a long period of time.

Thanks for all the nice responses.  You guys are terrific!

It's amazing how much younger you look! Seriously, in the most recent pic you look ten years younger than the 2 year old pic!!  Wow, just wow!! Great motivation!! Thanks!

Could it be that I am sitting on the ground like a 10 year old opening presents????LOL

Great job. You look great. What an amazing transformation!

I have been doing this weight loss thing for about 5 years, I have tried WW, Slimfast and some others but this program is easier to follow.  I eat regular food just lower in calorie and track everything!  I have been more successful with this program then the others and its free!!  I am done 56 pounds!  Thanks for your inspiration!

Wow . . . after looking at your results, it is so uplifting it brings tears of joy to my eyes. You should be so proud . . i am sure your family is proud. What an accomplishment! You are amazing! Thank you for sharing your success!

Not only do you look thinner, but you look younger.  Your skin is glowing!  Thanks for the motivation.

you have made an amazing transformation! be proud and press on! i just started to eat less/healthier foods and am exercising 3 times a week! i feel so much better, i have more energy! i totally get what you are saying about the whole sexier in your skin feeling, i've only lost 10 pounds, but i feel so much more confidant!
