Okay, it is more than official -- I LOVE YOU ALL!!

Thank you for your kind comments and words of encouragement. Seriously, you can only draw so much strength from within and then you need support.

This Forum is like earthquake retro-fitting for me. Anytime, I get wobbly - here I am cause you are here.

Sharing these trials and tribulations with you is an honor. thank each and every one of you for being a part of my journey and allowing me to tag along on yours too!

Wow! I know everyone has already said it, but you certainly deserve to hear it again.....
You look amazing!

:cleader:

With much frustration I am still waiting on my first shipment. My goal is to start no later than this upcoming Sunday, but I am keeping my eyes glued to the forum here so I can stay inspired and be pumped to get started. Let me just say, your pictures are more than inspiring. Words cannot describe how happy I am for your post....for you because you deserve to know that your hard work is paying off, and for all of us who are just beginning this journey and need all the reassurance we can get.

Thanks a million! :rose:

Soooooooooo so beautiful!! I KNOW how hard it is to post your pictures......but I also know how liberating it is. Do you realize once you come to terms with the "old you" that you are so destined to never return there? At least that's what I believe. It's the reality that we avoid.....and then when we face it......WOW........we don't go back!! You are gorgeous by the way and the difference is amazing. I look forward to the "I'm there" photos that are soon on their way!! Great job girl!
GOD BLESSED TEXAS!

I don't know how many times I've told you are my hero but once again You are my hero! I am so amazed that you are even more beautiful now than you were when you were (dare I say) FAT.

Everything about you has changed. You get better and better with every pound you lose. Now your outside is matching the beautiful woman there has always been inside.

I think I get to be proud of you since I gave you birth!

Much love, much pride,
Mom ;)

Hard to fail with so much love and support.

I am the luckiest to have such a Mom. Maybe soon she will not forget that I am a reflection of her love and upbringing. She gets all the credit cause she is the BESTEST!!!

By the way, her first week of MF was yesterday and she lost 10 big ones!

Hurrah for my Mom -- Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!!!!! She knows I have pom poms (she bought them for me in H.S.) and I am SO not afraid to use them!!!

I LOVE the mother-daughter team! Marcia - Great loss your first week, did you ever think you'd be following in your daughter's footsteps? But, what an example ... you are both awesome ladies!

:shock: Isn’t she lovely?

Gwenski,

How precious you are and very brave to share your pictures with us all.

Only those of us who have been there or are here now can know how hard this is to do.

We also know that our shared experience can be exactly what it takes to help others who are contemplating the weight loss journey themselves. Thank you for being selfless and sharing!

:secret: Little Darlin’, that Speedo looks so chic, especially over those gnome-print jammies. ;)

Marcia, what a jewel of a Mom you are to encourage your little [color=red]firecracker
and we appreciate you for grooming her and raising her up to be the wonderful young woman she is today!

Gwenski, you are beautiful! Such a prize you are! Enjoy the trip!

Gwenski you look AMAZING!!! Congratulations on your dedication and willpower.
I really relate to what you said, thanks for sharing. I started MF last January, lost 50 pounds, then quit following the program after about 5 months. Unfortunately I've gained back about 20 pounds. I've started again and am determined not to quit until I reach my goal. I guess my AH-HA moment was my 40th birthday last week. I don't want to waste any more years looking and feeling the way I do. Your comment about your best friends being the remote and food really hit home.

Thanks again for the inspiration. I'm going to read your post whenever I need a little extra kick in the butt to stay on track.
