Default Thank You!!!

Thanks so much you guys! I wanted to just add that I started this WOE on June 19, 2002 and have gotten this far. I feel great and everytime I look at those pictures I remember how I was and I never want to be that heavy again. Keep up the great work everyone! I'm still going strong with 20 to go!!!

You guys are so sweet, thanks for the kind words...I remember when I used to browse the success stories and look for pictures and how people were such an inspiration to me not long ago..I cant tell you how good it feels for ME to be an inspiration to others now...Once I lost those first 10 pounds, it was so easy to keep it up...Thanks again for the kindness...I cant wait to post my pictures 20 pounds from now!!!!

Default Measurments!

WOW! I just took my measurements and here they are...Well here is what they were when I first started:

Thighs: 24 1/2
hips: 46
waist: 40

NOWthey are

Thighs: 20 3/4
hips: 41
Waist: 34 3/4

When I take the tape measure and stretch it out to where I used to be, I cannot believe the difference. Even though I still have a bit over 10 pounds to go, I have gone out and bought myself some new clothes! I am wearing a loose 12 or a snug 10. A medium in shirts. It wasn't but about 4 months ago when I would walk into Dillards and dream of buying some of the cute pants they have now and think I wish...Now the dream has come true! My husband canot believe the difference! My shoe size has even gone back down to a 6 1/2...Which is what I wore before I had three kids! The feeling is wonderful! Thanks for all the support this forum has given.!
