Sharing Some Victories!!
I'm so excited to report that I have met one of my personal goals! I have now lost 155 lbs!
It feels so good reaching something l thought I never would, I still have a long way to go, but
this is a big milestone for me. I am noticing so many changes within my body and my abilty
to do so many more things. I am actually starting to live instead of just exist.
I am wearing clothes I haven't wore for years, and enjoying some hand-me-downs from a
friend. It's so nice to have some variety in clothing. I am using my walker, less and less.
It's so much easier to get out of bed in the morning, and have more room in my bed!
My wedding ring fits me again! I'm getting out more and enjoying my swim program three to
four times a week. I no longer need the seat belt extender and find it much easier getting in and
out of the car, truck or van. I no longer have to accept hugs sitting down, l can actually stand up
and hug people again! I'm enjoying my children and grandchildren more everyday. Even my
grandchildren notice a big difference in me and tell me how proud they are of me! I know this is
just the beginning of many more things I will enjoy and I just wanted to share with you, how good it feels!
To all of you starting out....go for your dreams and stay dedicated to your program, the big pay off is ahead of you!
Thanks to everyone here for all your support here, you have made my life so much more bearable,
everyone has been so helpful and supportive for me, and I can't THANK-YOU enough!
God Bless you all and remember the best is yet to come!
Great post - congratulations on your loss to date!
