Only 56 lbs to go till...

Yup exactly!! In a way I am lucky because the reason I gained my weight (yup gained almost 177lbs in less then 1.5 years!!) will never happen again EVER. But I so agree that we have to LEARN or there will always be something that can set us back on the path to crap-ville lol. Weight loss is only part of a huge plan I have put in action for the last 2 years. Its just the final phase is all lol. I spent a lot of time cleaning up everything around me, I spent a lot of time cleaning up my brain lol and now I am cleaning up the fat. I just can not wait till its allllllllllllllllllll gone lol. My goal is to be AT goal by Christmas this year. I will go into 2008 with the only thoughts being of excitement for what the future may bring and with no more thoughts of weight loss, dieting, etc... I will always have to keep an eye on it but for the first time in a billion years it will NOT be the focus of this family... *HUGS* Felicia =)

Alright Felicia!!!! A little being sent your way!! You are doing so great!! down!! I love the story...how true!! We are definetly in charge of our own destiny and must be responsible for the journey we choose. Great motivator!! Hugs,

Thanks!! Yup I agree.. we have the power to either build up or let crash lol. I love that story... Always makes things a little more clear... Felicia

You will lose the 56 pounds in no time! Look at your accomplishments during this journey. I know that I tend to compare myself with others and then I start thinking I am a slow loser, etc! Well heck, when was the last time I lost 65 pounds in 3 months! Hello.... You are an inspiration to this board. I enjoy reading your posts and recipies! I need new ideas. Thanks for the great read. Keep up the good work!! Tara

Yup I hear ya about comparisons lol. Thats why I try and keep up with my averages ( gotta love fitday for that ). On days I think SHEESH this is taking forever I can look at my averages since starting this journey and I am put as ease quick that I am making it and it is actually going super fast especially if I compare it to the "old way" lolol. Thanks so much!! Felicia
