It's almost finished!!! Today is it. I am thrilled. This is the first time I have completed this. I tried two other times and did not make it past day two. I have lost a few pounds and am on my way to losing the 30 pounds that I have never lost. That is my goal this year to lose the rest of the weight to reach my goal. I know that you all have done great. I am having me two eggs for breakfast this morning, chicken breast for lunch and I am am not sure about dinner yet. Hey y'all...we did it!!!!

Congratulations everyone!! A job well done by all who did it!

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.

See, that wasn't so hard after all!! We did it! i am so pleased with the change in the way my clothes fit, that all the cravings are gone and so is the bloat! And five pounds down is a plus!

Today Im having taco soup for lunch and supper,,its a Weigh****chers recipe so low in calories, high in fiber and protein.
FOr breakfast I had a protein shake.

This is the year I will lose that last 30 pounds also. I have nver reached goal either, so that is my challenge for the year 2009!

Thanks for all the support Judy and everyone. And Carmen, thanks for posting this morning in Judys absence. COngrats to you too!

Blessings

Happy Dance Happy Dance. We Made It !!! This is the first time I too have completed this. The accountability and support sure did help. Not even one slip !! My goal is to be back in my size 12s by summer. I plan on keeping up my food reports every day on Linda's thread. Thanks Judy for starting this and keeping us motivated!! I am drinking a Slim Fast, Crab and a HB egg for lunch and a hamburger for dinner..pudding for a snack. Last night was hard ,I was surprised that I really wanted to eat, only had in about 800 calories so had a cup of sf pudding.. I never ate sf pudding always thought it was too many calories. What was I thinking??? But a grilled cheese or Fritos or Christmas cookies or 15 Triskits wasn't????? Looking forward to a salad tomorrow and some black beans. Now THATS the kind of cravings I want to stick with. Blessings and continued success
