Shaking in more ways than one!

Postby Lizabett » January 29th, 2006, 9:39 am

Okay, I am jumping into this thing with a passion. I introduced myself yesterday on the Forum under the topic, “Enough, Already!” I am that 76 year old who is committed to the challenge of spending the rest of my life (how about 20 years!) as healthy and trim as I can be.

The BEFORE picture is with my grandaughter,Evin, on Grandparents Day at school.

Image

I am also including my wedding picture of almost 60 years ago, because my husband and I are celebrating our 60th wedding anniversary this October. I plan to send an AFTER picture of us, at my 50 pound weight loss goal. Guys, this is scary!

Image

When I think about it, I can hardly imagine that this could actually happen, When it does, it will be a miracle! I will be “shaking” in more ways than one!

Big Time!

Postby Lizabett2 » January 29th, 2006, 10:56 am

Momma and Lisa,

You are both too kind with your compliments, but I'm not complaining!

You'll be seeing less of me in days and weeks to come. Ain't MMT and Medifast fabulous?

I'm a-shaking big time and so are you!

Lizabett! You are AWESOME! My mom is just a couple of years older than you & you both look amazing! I think love has something to do with that ;) . I look forward to shaking with you! You're a great inspiration!

Hello Lizabett! :wave: I just saw your "Enough Already" post and loved your spirit instantly. Then I jumped over to the Studio and see that you've taken the big step and posted your before photo. I couldn't resist jumping on the Welcome Wagon when I saw that you are in beautiful Hot Springs, Arkansas! I'm an Arkansas native! I just moved to Michigan from Little Rock in August.

I'm sure you've read that most of us are looking forward to a special event...mine's a wedding this summer. I think it's wonderful that you want to give your husband the gift of seeing his slimmer bride on your 60th!

Welcome! I cannot wait to hear of your success on the forum.

Keep Shakin!!

Can't believe it!

Postby lizabett2 » January 30th, 2006, 11:11 am

I just can't believe how supportive and kind you all are. Ljm498, Stelar, Drama Queen and Trixi and all the others! I've seen some of your pictures, too, and you just look wonderful to me.

All of us have goals for special events coming up like an anniversary, wedding, reunion or just to change our lives to be as healthy and to look as good as we can be. Don't we all?

I'm happy you do not think I really look 76! I actually don't feel like it either, but so nice that you tell me so. Make's my day!

Today, the scales rewarded me with a total of 13.5 pounds gone, from my BEFORE high of 195. I can't wait for that AFTER picture either. It will so exciting! Thank you all,

Doing great

Postby Jan » January 30th, 2006, 12:08 pm

Hi there,
YOu are doing great!!! I agree you don't look your age or as Nancy says "your experience" :mrgreen: at all. Remember I'm the one with the Dad that's 2 months short of 100. He's getting his traveling plans all set for the summer (of course that means I'll be traveling too -- I won't let him go all by himself anymore :D ) So just think of yourself as a kid -- Daddy calls people your age --" youngins" :D

Oh, Jan! It's so great to called a youngin again! You just tell your wonderful dad to have a fantastic traveling trip this summer. He will always be young at heart, and you take good care of him! God Bless you for being so sweet and considerate!

You don't look, or sound, for that matter, a day over 60! Congratulations on your long marriage. In today's world, I think it's something of which to be extra proud. Thank you for sharing your pictures and your story - can't wait to see the anniversary pictures! ;)

:shock: Oh, Lizabett I am so :sheepjump: happy to discover you here among the hallowed studio halls of famous losers!

Already you are in the 10 Pound Club and closing in on the 20 Pound Club.

When your 60th Anniversary rolls around, you won’t be rolling down the aisles – you’ll be gliding on the arm of your very handsome Bill, 50 pounds lighter.

Yup, this will be the Diamond Anniversary and your eyes are already sparkling like diamonds. I just did the :puterboos: math here, :whattha: Folks… That means Lizabett was a mere child of 16 when she and Bill were married. You absolutely do not look your age! :no:

:shades: That granddaughter of yours is sure cutesy wootsey – she looks a LOT like you. :whistle:

You are determined, you are spunky and I like that about you – got your dress all picked out for the party? :scratch: Be sure to have the phone number of a tailor handy!

We shall soon be calling you :point: Lit’l Bett!

"Climbing up the mountain"

Postby Lizabette » January 31st, 2006, 8:38 am

Wow, DAYNA, age 60 seems like eons ago! I would have been just a baby when my handsome sailor boy and I got married! Thank you! As to my long marriage, in retrospect it has been unique and grand… not always on the mountain top by a long shot, but as you know there has to be hills and valleys to travel anywhere in life.

And dear, dear NANCY. You have to know that you are the primary reason I am even starting on this “mountain top” experience. You have been super-supportive. It's okay to call me “Lit’l Bet” now, ‘cause that’s where I’m heading.

Hey, how can I not, when the road is all laid out before me in the footsteps of so many other brave travelers? I love MMF, Medifast and you all for going along with me!

Lit'l Bet ~

when the road is all laid out before me in the footsteps of so many other brave travelers


Yep...that's the key...follow the road map (The Quick Start Booklet) exactly and you cannot fail. We have blazed the trail, your job is to stay on the path and stay out of the foody weeds!

Shake it up and shake it off! :cheers:
