Jo (Serendipity) update - 100 lbs gone forever! 07/10/06

Postby Serendipity » July 10th, 2006, 5:58 pm

Hi folks. I thought it was about time for some updated pictures. I think you'll notice a change, hehe.

The first picture is my before picture taken in September 2005. I started Medifast October 15, 2005.

Image

Ok, so here I am on June 27th 2006. I just had to include this one so you could meet my handsome husband. We're at the top of the fort in San Juan.....don't we just look like tourists! LOL

Image

Here's another taken while shopping in San Juan.

Image

This picture was taken on our first dress up night on the ship. I thought you might want to see my face without sunglasses and hat.

Image

We had a great time on our 30th anniversary trip. It was also perfect timing to celebrate 100 pounds gone forever!

I am seriously all verklempt right now! Geez, Jo, it's totally astounding! I love watching you go through this process, because I get a glimpse of how my friends are viewing me through the process - does that make sense? You look so happy, and so beautiful, and so freakin' fantastic, I can't stand it!

Vicky, I am getting all nostalgic, too! I think it's awesome that we sort of made a pledge from minute one to push through it, and Jo, Hype, and I just kept on keeping on. Granted, Hype reached goal looong before us (typical male, huh?), but it's all good. I am just thrilled that we had the comraderie and drive to forge ahead.

To anyone who is reading this, one of the things that Jo, Hype, and I all had in common from the first minute through now is that we Just Do It. I seriously could be a Nike ad with this, but don't overthink it, don't try to find new and bizarre foods that "may" fit into the diet, don't try to be creative, and don't overanalyze it all. Just do it. I went on a vacation to Aruba 6 weeks into my MF experience, and it didn't even occur to me to not be compliant. I packed all my MF meals, and that's all I ate, and a L&G every evening. I wouldn't have considered breaking the diet, because why would I? There is no high, be it food, drink, whatever, that is better than the high that you get from losing weight and feeling proud of yourself every minute of the day. Jo just went on her cruise, and she too just did it. She didn't consider going off plan. We didn't chat about it, and I doubt she debated it. She just stuck to it.

Jo, you seriously hae been so awesome, and I couldn't be more thrilled for you. I can't wait to finally meet you in person, perhaps when we both reach goal!

Cheers, lovely lady!
