I'm 3 months in to losing weight - hopefully 100 pounds or more this year! I've lost 20 so far...and then went on vacation and fell back into my old habits for one week. And felt awful. I'm back in the saddle, but aware that I'm just a small decision away from falling hard back into old habits. Reading stories from those who have gone before and endured really help me in my weak moments.

The more confident I get in my journey and the more weight I lose I realize that dress could be smaller than I originally imagined.<br /><br />THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart for posting this.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12777597846226977709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912463842779590235.post-42399071797747166442010-04-12T23:49:11.559-07:002010-04-12T23:49:11.559-07:00Thanks everyone!

It takes work and dedication and a lot of effort to change the habits that have formed over the years, to work thought the mental and emotional battles, and to discover how to reshape your body into something that works with and for you rather than against you. But it is possible! And for all the difficulties that are there to face, there are so many more victories, milestones, and positives than you ever could have imagined! It is worth it! YOU are worth it!!!<br /><br />And this is true. I was not as heavy as you but I had to fight my way too & still do as my body changes BUT it can be done!<br /><br />GREAT POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Jody - Fit at 52http://www.truth2beingfit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912463842779590235.post-17131134763795249032010-04-12T13:10:30.370-07:002010-04-12T13:10:30.370-07:00I cried after reading this post. you really are an...I cried after reading this post. you really are an inspiration and you have just given me the biggest Kick Up the Butt ever..Thank You<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br />SheilaghSheilaghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02774960303127922257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912463842779590235.post-84228980942179237112010-04-12T12:42:09.565-07:002010-04-12T12:42:09.565-07:00It's your weekly weigh-ins on the right that r...It's your weekly weigh-ins on the right that reminds me that if I just keep at it, I will reach my goal. You stayed with it week after week and even lost during the holidays. I've learned from you that I'm going to be a year older anyway, why not look healthy and trim?

I lost close to 100 lbs in 2006-2007, but then lost my mum at the end of 2008 and while mourning her passing, I went and gained all the weight back plus! I am now at my all time heaviest, I hit rock bottom, but i decided to come out of it. I't been good so far but I still have a ways to go. I hope you will cheer me along the way.
