Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!  LW's rock and without your experience, strength, and hope I would not be where I'm at today!

6 month check-up went exceedingly well.  All of the team was very impressed and asked me to gather before and after pics so they could submit my name as a person to share at one of the upcoming informational meetings.  (They don't know what they are getting into... LOL)  It was a humbling honor to be asked, needless to say.

I have lost:

80 pounds (10 during the last month)
58.25 inches (6 during the last month)
20.4% of my excess body fat

I still have all my hair, feel strong, and my labs were excellent.  I am very blessed.I'm feeling great and am eager to carry on with this mission!  24 lbs. from goal. Yesss!   :-)

Thanks again for all the suggestions to numerous LW's that I pick up on and take advantage of for myself... especially to double the 60 gm of protein they suggested as my requirement.  ;-)
