Hi everyone!

I'm a bit late with my 6 month post.  I was away last weekend having the best weekend (and time) that I have ever had in my life. 

I've been a bit MIA from the boards in the last couple of months.  I've been out enjoying life, reconnecting with old friends and making new ones.  It's amazing what losing OVER 100 lbs in 6 months will do for your self-confidence and how it helps you to re-evaluate your self-worth in a positive light. 

This 6+ months have been one of growth and changes.  A very helpful VSGer reminded me of some sage words uttered by Ginni Rometty, CEO of IBM:  Comfort and growth do not coexist.   Let that sit with you for a moment.  Think about it.  Does that resonate with you?  I know it certainly has with me. 

So many changes have happened in my life, are happening and will continue to happen.  I welcome all of it.  The good, the bad and the indifferent.  I know this is vague, but I promise a more telling post in the near future.  I'm just so excited by everything in my life.

I'm also excited about shopping. LOL!  I have to tell myself that just because it fits I don't have to buy it.   I'm 5'6".  I've gone from a 28-30 to an 18 pant (and TIGHT 16!).  Tops from 5x to 1-2X.  New bras are expensive.    I think I currently own 4 pairs of pants and about a dozen tops.  I do laundry often.  

I could tell you about the foods I eat, what I do for exercise, etc..., but honestly, follow the plan and it will work.  I am proof. 

If you're on the fence, don't be.  Don't worry about others will say or think.  It's your life. Reclaim it!

Fantastic!!!!  I wondered where you'd been.  Is there a word bigger and better than congratulations?  There should be!

THank you, Cathy.  Just concentrate on the day to day stuff.  It was just a bonus to hit Century Club by 6 months.

It is possible.  Just have to keep your head in the game and eye on the prize.  LOL! I sound like a cliched sports coach!!!
