THIS IS A BIG.......

THANK YOU for all of those that replied to the ROLL CALL! WE OKIES JUST ROCK! The weight lost was super fantastic for everyone. I sit here and read each post and I am more motivated then ever to get to goal before my four months is up. Again thank you for replying.

You can do it!!!!  I know you can...Pattye.  You've been a lot of inspiration for me I know that much!!  Sometimes we forget how far we've come until we put it on paper.  We start whining about a few pounds and then when you look at totals and how fast actually then you remember how blessed we all really are!!!  I know I am.  Thanks for your Roll Call Post.  Maybe you should do this every month or two!!!

I do it on the other site every 3 to 4 months. To me it shows how much we have accomplished after being considered failures. I sit here and cried over some. Knowing how hard it was for them to publically  they started from. It has made me so humble and  yes for the first time I will actually use the word PROUD to have such a wonderful group of folks that I have come so far and are doing so great. Again thank you to all that replied!

I think your post was great!  A great way to keep in check and to inspire!!!

Thank you Kim! Thats the one of the ways I feel we PAY IT FORWARD.

I truely enjoyed seeing everyones reply!!!!!  Its just amazing at the pounds totaled together that we are a group have shed!!!! Way to go to everyone!

I know that you can achieve your goal!  We are behind ya!

Thanks so much! As I said in a support group meeting...those that have supported me the most are people that I have never seen..they are my online family without them I would not be where I am today. For each pound that I have lost its because of those that cheer me on...

I'm impressed with how open and honest and willing to share people were.  I didn't post because I'm too embarrassed of my starting number for now.  But some day soon!

Kim I am the heaviest one in the group with starting weight. So if I can do it so can you. All the starting numbers are just that a number that we began from..it doesnt  make you a less of a person if you started at 200or 400 WE are success stories each and everyone of us.  What matters is where we end up at. I would never have told anyone how much I weighed.  I was ashamed now I am seeing it as what it was the time for me to make a change.  Hugs to ya

I respect that, but you would be the first to remind anyone else who'd said the same thing that it's not where you've been, but where you are and where you're headed that really matter.  Regardless, I'm proud of you!
