Thanks!  It feels really weird to look in the mirror and see what I see now.  I can't imagine what it's going to be like when I'm done.

LOL!!!!!!!!! I have a photo shoot in the bathroom with my cell phone every week!!!!!   I spend like 20 minutes taking pictures trying to find the right angle to show off my new curves! Then I send them out in picture messages  with a caption like these pants are a size 10 woo hoo!!!!!!!!!

My favorite souce of protein right now is lunch meat and cheese. It just goes down so easy.

Everyone I know has been very supportive of me in their own way.  I have a couple of friends who have given me a lot of clothes.  I get compliments from everyone I see.  But my DH has to take first prize in that department.  He does most of the cooking, and always tries to accommodate my needs first.  Along the way, he's also lost 21 pounds.  He said he didn't know how he lost it, and I reminded him of the way we're both eating now.

My girlfriends and I had a movie night.  We went to see "The Women."  We all enjoyed it very much.  Then off to an area restaurant for a glass of wine.  They got a quesadilla.  I got a shrimp ****tail.  Yummy treat for me!

Nope, not anywhere near as camera shy anymore.  As for protein, my fave is lobster, but I don't get to eat it much.

I would like to say my hubby has....but he seems to be enjoying the results more then helping me on my journey. I would have to say all my OH buddies, I have family and friends that fill me up with confidence telling me how great I look, but its not easy trying to explain my new lifestyle habits witht them! Well lets just say its easy for me to explain it...its hard for them to get it! SO I would have to say my OH buddies and MYSELF! I am extremely proud of myself and I think that is the most important thing, if you support yourself and not let yourself get down you can do anything.

Ok I am going to modify my goal! I had planned to lose the final 40 pounds thinking I would lose it as fast as I did the first 50! NOT HAPPENING! so my original goal was 124lbs. I started at 164lbs, my new goal is 150lbs. I am only losing about 1-2 pounds a week now  guess the honeymoon phase is over!
Highest weight 210
Started challenge at 164
Current 155
Goal for Challenge 150lbs
