Hallelujah! 10 months and 2 weeks after starting Medifast...

Postby gr8bnme » June 2nd, 2006, 5:59 am

I MADE IT TO MY ORIGINAL GOAL!!!!!!! I weighed myself this morning and to my utter surprise :shock: the scale said 120.2. I honestly never thought this day would get here. I'm in total shock. For the first time in my weight loss life I actually set a goal and made it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing feels better than that. I am so happy.

Thanks so much for everyone's support through this whole thing. This is proof that a slow loser can make it to goal.

wildtrk,

You are soooo right! It isn't slow weight loss in the grand scheme of things. It's very very very fast. (kinda slow in the medifast world though, but i don't care because i couldn't have asked for more).

Thanks so much everyone!! i'm so excited today.

and Dogma :cry: I feel for you, but keep trucking along and you'll get there.

Lisa in NY -- new wardrobe is an understatement. :D I've had to buy everything new (under doodies, pajamas, the list goes on and on -- only things that still fit for me are shoes and socks) -- my credit cards are on fire right now :whattha: ! espcially since i needed new summer clothes for my vacation :ukulele: . Ofcourse I wouldn't have it any other way :yippee:

Hi there,
You have done, and are doing soooo great. I am sooo happy for you and for your mom too. She is coming right along. Keep encouraging her. Soon there will be two "skinny ladies" in your family. :D
