So this is what a size 8 looks like.

That's my goal. You look FANTASTIC!

This might sound strange, but the first thought I had

was you look so normal. Like if I ever saw you

in person... I would never have believed you would ever have

been fat. If this is what normal looks like. I can't wait!

Thanks for all the wonderful posts too.

You are a picture of success, Little Darlin' and I admire you for your commitment to go all the way to your goal.
You have done a terrific job of thinnin' thru many holidays and seasons and it sure is paying off now!

Something that was hard for me was to go all the way to my goal when many of my friends and family members were telling me that I already looked good and that they were worried about me getting too thin and they encouraged me to stop when I had 15 pounds to go. I am really thankful that I went for the gold and reached my goal - it gave me great personal satisfaction to meet that goal.

You look amazing, Lynne. I noticed that those are mid-rise jeans ya got on there - look at you! Very slender, up-to-date clothing WITH a belt!

Sylvia is so right, Folks - get rid of those baggy clothes because we must have the mindset that we will NEVER wear that size again. When they get tight, it's time for intervention. A few weeks on the weight loss program is not at all fun but it is so much better than getting into major flabdom problems and having to lose it ALL all over again. A short stint at the fluffy farmette is a whole lot better than becoming an inmate at the Flab Farm for half a year.

Ron, ktrout, Hype & Mike, you guys will LOVE wearing your shirts tucked in or wearing knit shirts with confidence AND going to the beach or the pool without a sportsbra - as your weight goes down and your waist size begins to match your inseam length, you will feel so proud of yourself! You may want to keep your "starting-weight belt" and drill new holes in it as you slim down just so you can show folks how much you've lost and to remind yourself from whence you came but get rid of the Billy Big Boy pants 'cuz you are not ever gonna go back there!

Hey, we DO see your Medifast in the background, ljm and that's a good thing! It reminds us all that your drink of choice is Medifast! It reminds us that to be successful, we must keep a shake within arm's reach so we put wholesome nutritious food into our wonderful bods.

I am singing praises to you, Lynne - you are every bit a winner in the MakeMeThinner Hall of Thin!

Thanks so much! It's funny you should mention that about people telling you that you didn't need to lose anymore. My mother just said that exact thing a couple of days ago. Needless to say I just smiled. Yup, those 15 lbs will be evicted without a doubt!

[ktrout]

You look great !!!

[Blondie]

Lynn, you look terrific. Your a pretty woman. YOu are just like me, not smiling in pictures.
How long did that take you to lose if you don't mind me asking?
I just started 6 days ago and need to lose the same amount

Blondie

Ok, everyone's having a picture posting party so thought maybe I would join in! This picture is of me with 77lbs down and 15 (or so) to go. Please ignore the mess all around me, it was just before Christmas the usual frenzy was taking place in my kitchen.



I'm a size 8 in the picture and am just tickled! And if you look closely enough, you can see my big box of MF on the table behind me.

[stelar]

Girlfriend! You look GOOD!! I'm with Blondie ... how long did it take you to lose the weight? Cause you are definately an excellent example of DISCIPLINE!

Hi Blondie and Stela! Thanks so much for the wonderful compliments! Well, I began MF the very last week in March of 2005. I would probably be at my goal by now but I, uh, went off plan a bit over the holidays, ahem BUT, am happily back on now full force and heading towards my goal. Overall I will probably be doing the weight loss phase for about a year total. I'm a slow loser at this point so I'm trying to be patient. Trust me, you guys are doing great and WILL do this!

Yup Blondie, I never am usually smiling in pictures. I absolutely hate my smile. It looks so fake! If I'm smiling in a picture, it means I was caught off-guard!
