Here's my thank you ...

Here's my thank you to you all. I'm so greatful to you listening to vents about not losing. And my DH acting like an ass. And *****ing about gas. Etc. No one else would ever understand. Since I never made it to a support group, I rely on you all. Even if I don't post, I read the posts. So a big hug and thank you. My good news is the scale is finally moving again after three weeks of nothing. I only lost 2 lbs in the last 30 days. However, I did lose 7 the month before. Also, I'm wearing able to wear Victoria's Secret. Their sale sucked me in. Sure enough I can wear their clothes now. I didn't order any bras or such, but I did get their bra tops. It's been so long since I've felt so confident about myself. Cheers and happy day to you all, Torrey (281/192/160)

Torrey Hi- I hope I am one of the people who helped. Don't feel alone. We all get so wrapped up in our own issues and daily living. It can seem like a struggle- but its a journey and as you see, th scale does move. My own theory is- the longer you have the weight- the harder it is to get rid of it- and dependng where you are carrying it- I have always been apple shaped..Now I dont think my legs are not long enough- LOL- because everyone around me (from my support group) is like 20 lbs from goal- and their legs look great.. So I am thinking that I will probably need PS for my legs & tummy. But I don't worry about that now- I am focused on making every day count..It counts as one step closer - even on the days when I dont workout as intensely as I like. I find if you give yourself little challenges, and focus on that for 2 weeks- you eventually will forget about looking at the scale, and you won't feel so pressured. Just do your best everyday- who could fault you for that? Certainly not me. I'm proud to have you as an August buddy, please keep posting, and consider joining the group- to celebrate our anniversary month. Be proud of who you are and where you are going. Like the song says-" Your book begins today- the rest is still unwritten" Hugs, Donna 325/217/145

Hey, Torrey. I come here for my "support group" as well. I consider you all to be a great group of friends. Congrats on the Victoria's Secret. Sherry 276/181/140

I, too, consider this my "support group". I think we all feel that way. I am closer to all of you than anyone in the support group I have attended here in WA. I feel like we can tell each other anything and not be judged for it. Glad to see your scale is moving down again! Take care and hugs back atcha! Lori 281/173/140-150

Hooray for you Torrey! Isn't this journey awesome and frustrating all at the same time. Life is so much better for me than it was 10 months ago. I can't remember feeling so miserable, but when that pesky scale stays still or (gulp) goes up a little, I freak out! I am so happy that the darn thing is moving again to the good side for you. It has begun to move again for me too!!!!! Here's to the journey! Lori 293/200.5/135/130
