The MakeMeThinner Support Forum

If I can just stop skipping and running around the house like it's Christmas morning long enough to sit in one place, I'd like to share that today, I reached my goal of 70 pounds gone.


KA-THUD!!!!

And what attention I'm getting! Went to Circuit City last night and bought my reward The Sims 2 because I knew I was getting close. The lines were long. A good-looking young man came up to me (I wasn't even at the end of one of the long lines), and said he would check me out at a different register. I felt like royalty.


My best friend's husband said if I were walking down the street, he would definitely give me a second look out of the corner of his eye (as my friend clobbered him over the head with her purse). We all chuckled but I was a little embarrassed.


Went to my hairdresser, cut 5 inches off and got gold highlights. I now have a sexy doo, and then went to Ross's and got some black with black satin trim Guess jeans (sexy) $20! Next is my reward of learning to drive my husband's Harley Fat Boy. I hope to post some pictures as soon as I'm in training!


I'd like to express continual thanks to Nancy, Terry, and Tim for this forum, for the MF creators, everybody here, my friends and family and God for giving me the patience, strength and support, and myself for not straying to achieve this gift of happiness and health.


People, this plan works. Ta Da!!! I'm proof!



Here I go now, making a right turn onto Maintenance Drive...
Camille

[Sylvia]

AWESOME!!!!!!

I want to see photos of the new hairdo and of course the whole package!

Welcome to transition. It is a brave new world but one that I'm enjoying. Since you were on the full fast the whole time (I think?), TAKE IT SLOW. It is hard getting adjusted back to food.

Please continue to be part of the community here. You add so much value and are always so positive - I really enjoy all of your posts and want to continue to hear about your new and thin life.

Camille and Sylvia,

It seems like just yesterday you were both newbies just starting out!

I can't say congratulations loud enough, I'm sitting here grinning at my monitor.

I am VERY VERY proud of you both.

Way to go girls!

Carrie

Maybe you'll be just too darned tiny to hold up that Harley. ;-)

I am so happy for you. And I concur - please stick around and continue to be a boon to this forum.

Oh a most super hearty Congratulations to you!

Santa came and took away your last few pounds with him! Heheheh!

Thank you for being such a guiding light and please stick around and shine on us! I love having you here.

"Ce-le-brate good times, come on! There's a party going on right here .... "
Okay, okay, went a little retro there, but I feel like dancing for you ! Yaaay for you, Camille--I'm so happy for you ! You and Sylvia, reaching your goals in tandem--this is wonderful! You are such a great presence on this forum and I'm looking forward to hearing about how things go as you transition into maintenance. I'm sure that so many of us are curious about how this process goes from different perspectives/experiences (I know I am ).

Don't get lost shopping and forget about us ! I've already begun to pick up shopping more frequently--finally enjoying it again--so I think I will be addicted by the time I reach goal!

Thanks for always donning us with positivity and graciousness--you so deserve this joy !

[krandle]

I am sooooo jealousy. But in a GOOD WAY.

[Nancy]

What's this? Our very own precious Hula Lula stepped on the scale and leaped off 70 Pounds lighter?


We are whoopin' it up for you here at the MakeMeThinner Cottage.
:dance::roflmao::roflmao::yes::dance: :roflmao::yes: :roflmao::yes::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::dance::yes::dance:



I can't believe you didn't call me! (and I can't believe I didn't see your post.

Forgive me, HawaiiWhatNot for being tardy - I've been burning up the keyboards with emails and failed to log on to the Forum...)

I am really thrilled for you - what a very special day. Now you will have a new anniversary to celebrate. Don'tcha just love another reason to have a party and to get presents???

Guess Terry and I will have to come back to Honolulu very soon so we can see the brand New Camille and go for a ride on the Fat Boy. Do you have a sidecar for Leopard Woman?

We are waiting for your photos to be posted in the Studio, Cutie! I wanna see that new hair style and the sexy black Guess jeans with a tucked-in shirt!

[fedup]

YEA YEA YEA YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a great day! We all knew it was coming any day, and here it is!!

You are a very uplifting and supportive person, and are one of the many here who have helped me keep going! We're all celebrating your success with you!

Keep posting a lot through maintenance... I'll be there soon (God willing) and would like as much advise to follow as I can get!

Great Job Girl!

[hawaiiwhatnot]

Wow everybody!!! Thanks for making me feel so loved and special! Success is there for the taking. All you have to do is follow the plan - just do it -. I'm not going anywhere. I'll be sharing my experiences during maintenance and you all will be there before you know it.


I wanted to share that one thing I've learned during the last 5 1/2 months on MF is a continuous awareness of my body and how to pay attention to it. It was something I obviously ignored before - not really liking it or appreciating it. It really does communicate with you. The day before I reached my goal, I wasn't feeling as good as I usually do - listless, tired, and unusually very hungry. Thought I might be on the threshold of a cold or something. Yesterday when I read up in Success in a Shaker Jar what I need to get at the store for maintenance, it stated that your body will pretty much tell you when you've reached a reasonable goal weight. You will not feel quite as good, tired, and hungry. AH-HA!!!! The body is an amazingly efficient machine. Also I stood up very fast yesterday and got really really dizzy. So, I've reached my limit, and my desired goal weight is right on target.


You all are friends with whom I feel a unique bond sharing our journey together here. This forum is a favorite respite for me several times a day and I'll hang around as long as you let me. I'll get it together and post some pics soon. It's been very rainy here so hubby won't allow one speck of rain on 'Hoss' the Harley.


Stay on plan everyone - be steadfast and positive. Have patience and strength. If I can do it you can do it.


Your 125 lb MF pal,
Camille

Very interesting, Camillle. I think that's what I was fighting against the whole time I was under 130, and perhaps even why I caved in. I was mentally worn out -- really worn out, and physically too, I'd say.

I wonder if you'd have changed your goal if it had struck you a few pounds away, where I was, or would've overtaxed yourself thinking you "should" still complete?

I really ran the shakes in the ground -- I know that now.
