Hi.....Got up this morning, I'm 3 months "out" and found out that I am OFFICIALLY 60 lbs down.  then I thought about everything I've given up with this.

--I've given up being uncomfortable with myself

--I've given up not having clothes fit

--I've given up not being my usual upbeat self

--I've given up be embarrased about my appearance

--I've given up only looking in the mirror from the neck up

But what I have gained so far....is a wonderful way of looking at the world once again.  I've always been  a "glass half full" person, and she is BACK!  Thank you thank you Dr Drew!!

(((Sharon))) While most during this season have claimed to given up candy or pop, etc. I have to say I like your list of things you've given up a whole lot better! Congratulations on all of your success thus far on your journey - keep it going girl!

Welcome back to the land of the living Sharon!  I know that's how I felt, like I locked myself away from the living being ashamed of myself.  Well....you have done such an AMAZING job....60 lbs....WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!   Keep up the GREAT work!

Congrats on the 60 pounds....It's great isn't it??!!!  Can't wait till you get back -- there is always room at coffee. Love your list of things you gave up....but the clothes thing will change.  You'll keep dropping and be out of clothes that fit again -- but because they are too big!!!  YEAH!!!   Now if we can just convince you to give up the warm weather and get back here!!!!! XXOO


Fitness is not about age or a size -- it's really about an attitude and life style!!!
Life is not measured by the number of breathes we take, but by the moments that take our breathe away~~

Barb thanks for the good words!  And look at you..........12lbs to go.  WE ARE GOOD!

88 today but am mentally ready to come home.   Want to see what my pond fish and tulips are doing...................UNDER the snow!  blucho

Am I ever going to have clothes for the "swap".  Am excited to see progress in everyone.

See you soon around the 9th or so and then the next coffee of course.
