One Month Update

I know I haven't been posting much, but I do come on everyday and read a little and usually post a blog and update my weight. I wouldn't be where I am today without all of you, you all mean so much to me and I am so lucky to have found this board!! In one month I am down 18.2lbs. I love my tool, we get along great. I definitely have room for improvement on some things, but I am working on them. I went back to work last Wednesday, well not back to work, I started my new job. It's going great, everyone is very excited and supportive of me. We sit around the lunch table and everyone just kinda gives me a smile and we laugh about how little I am eating, but it doesn't bother me one bit. We have had constant food and treats in our breakroom and I am not tempted at all. I love my tool!!! I saw someone today I hadn't seen in at least 20lbs, she almost didn't recognize me. I was also at a different work location, so that might have thrown her off too. LOL I posted some new pics in my profile. I love my new avatar, I have shoulders!!! When I first got that pic on my computer and saw it I was amazed at my shoulders, I like em!!! Best of all, my knock knees are going away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always liked my legs, except for being knock kneed, but in the pics it looks like it's going away. That might explain the inflammation and pain I had in my knees one day a couple of weeks ago. They're adjusting. Again, thank you all. I know I don't post much, but I do think of you and read the posts and surf the profiles still. Happy Holidays everyone!!!!

Great job GF!!!  Keep working the tool and you will get even more benefits!!!  The knees and shoulders are nothing -- wait until people think your butt is cute!!!  It will happen!!!! XXOO

Alayna!   Great job so far!  I love that your smile keeps getting bigger and bigger in each set of pictures.  You're only a month out - how big does that smile get?  Keep up the great work!
