Sticks of butter

I am so lucky to have some incredibly supportive (and funny) friends! They make even the hard stuff easier!

Another way I look at my weight loss journey when I am discouraged is what my Dr. once told me: It took you 18 years to get here, so even if it takes you 3 years to be a healthy weight, then so be it..

I often reflect on that when I see only one lb gone during a week I worked out and so hard!!

I love the amount of support, straight talk and information this group shares! Thank you all so much!!

I know many have shared. I only lost 11 pounds the first month. I reached goal.

So very proud of your success! I really does take looking at pounds in a different way.

Congratulations on your new journey!

Remember Oprah's proud ( very temporary) weight loss and her dragging a hundred lbs of pork belly behind her in a red kids wagon?
