I'm so thankful to have found this program, to have it work so well in my life, to recognize that this opportunity is something that I should appreciate & cherish, that I need to follow the program until I reach my goal and learn how to maintain my goal weight for the rest of my life. I'm so excited to see the changes in my body in these next months as I get closer and closer to my goal weight!

I feel your excitement, TEE, and felt a little teary when I read your post!
Your commitment will carry over into your transition/maintenance---you are even learning about it now.
So happy for you! And PROUD of you!

I DID IT!!!!

40# in 16 weeks!!!!!

Yahooooo!!! I did it!!!! I made it!!!!! 40# in 4 months!!!!!

I'm debating over whether or not to change my ticker---but since roll call is tomorrow, I'll wait to change it then (I can wait 24 hours since I'm screaming and jumping up and down right now :lol:

).

Last night, while digging through some papers trying to find a certain sock knitting pattern, I found my measurements that I took 3 days after I began MF back in February. I've lost 47.25 inches in 16 weeks !! Yes, 47.25 inches!!! I take measurements of ankles, calves, thighs, neck, bicep area, hips, abdomen, waist, ribcage, bra band area and bust. I carried the majority of my weight in my trunk so I took measurements from a lot of the areas there (thus the ribs & bra band area).

Don't be thinking I'm not doing a happy dance nor smiling huge!!

I did that when I hit onederland. Music and everything. Mostly "Your Body is a Wonderland" by John Mayer.

Thanks everyone and thanks to whomever changed me to the 40# club (Mike?

).

I think what impresses and amazes me the most is the inches lost. I have been watching the pounds go away and focused on that all the time these past 16 weeks, but the inches lost.....even though I've taken my measurements every 4 weeks I've never compared the measurements that I've taken. Also, I hadn't know where I started because I couldn't find the piece of paper that I had written the measurements down on (I thought I hid it, didn't know it was just misplaced because of a messy desk :oops:

). So to tally up the inches that I wrote down in February and then tallied up today's measurements and to see the difference---wow! I still haven't looked at the numbers to see how much I've taken off of each body area --- Okay, just checked my waist measurements and I've lost 7.25" in my waist alone. Wow!!

This program is awesome!!

And so are you guys. I couldn't be doing it this easily without your encouragement, support and fun interaction. Thank you.

I gained back .5 this morning according to the darn scale! I thought about going back to bed for awhile (it was 5:30 when I weighed) but decided I'd just deal with it. I thought about fibbing (sounds better than lying but they are both the same and make me feel terrible when I consider it---I just had to decide if I felt more terrible in fibbing/lying to you guys in roll call and on my ticker -- than how horrible I feel in not getting to put 40# lost on my ticker today). So.....honesty won out and I'm still grumbling about my body deciding that .5 of water needed to be retained this morning.

Anyway......I will change my ticker mid week when that lousy .5 goes away again! :lol:

I should have done it yesterday so I could have at least looked at it for 24 hours....

Hope it is a good day for everyone!
