What a great thread! I love it!  Sometimes we get so caught up in only being happy when we lose a lot of weight that we don't even notice all those accomplishments that get us there.  Today I went grocery shopping with my dad and my kids.  We always go out to lunch, which means fast food.  Sure enough we ended up at Carl's Jr/Green Burrito.  I went straight to the nutrition facts and chose the chicken soft taco (230 cal).  I ordered the combo so I could have a drink with it.  It came with rice, beans, and chips, but I fed most of the rice and beans to my daughter and didn't even touch the chips!  The fries looked so good and I could have eaten at least one more taco, but I stuck with what I had! Yay me!

Congratulations everyone on your HUGE little accomplishments!

That's great.  Not about the strech marks, but on getting into the suit.  I haven't worn a two piece in........forever.  Think the last time was when I was 14?  Lord, do I feel old.  Glad it's working for you.  Hard work yes...end results...WORTH IT!!! 

Well, today I started my spring cleaning and I came across my swimming suit from last summer, which I was pregnant. I thought that I would horrible in it so I was going to buy me a new. But anyway I decided to try it on just to see if I had a bump still from where I have my baby. I was so happy with what I saw. I did have a small bump but nothing to worry over. Actually I dont think anyone that didnt know me would even think that I had, had a baby. I was so happy that I am not even going to worry about going and buying a new swim suit. I mean Im not going to be wearing the two piece anymore because of scretch marks but I did look good in the one piece. I was so happy my hard work is paying off, I cant wait to see the end result.  

Very good, proud of you!  Keep it up to get it off.  Even though I did not feel like it went for a long walk today.  And last night I didn't go to the store for ice cream. Cravings can really nail you.  Also went to the doc's for my 2 month re-check.......and the results are in.  23 lost.  HE was happy and I'm thrilled

I have managed to do pretty well on portion control.  I lost a pound this week. 

Awesome on the good choices!  The past two days I have been kind of down, not wanting to exercise and wanting to overeat, but I put in that biggest loser DVD and did it anyway, after the sweating I felt so much better!  Instead of overeating I made myself a serving of Kashi Go Lean crunch cereal with some semi sweet chocolate chips ( good for the heart!)  It satisfied the sweet craving but I made sure I measured out one serving and stopped at that!!

That's a good idea.  Here's mine.  Started SF on 4/1.  Was and still am determined.  My first minigoal has been met.  Wanted to wear a certain skirt on my birthday.  When I started it would not zip up at all.  Kinda got stuck on my hip area actually.  Birthday morning 5/18,  it's on and zipped and even a bit of room in the waist.  I was so happy!!!!  Proud of me and proud of you too.  Names Mary.  If I saw the cookies I would have done the same thing.  That's why I don't keep them around.  Lucky for me hubby isn't fond of too many sweets, and I tell him to hide the ones he does have. 

I wanted to start a place were we can celebrate our accomplishments! 

I made a good choice a few minutes ago.  I had seen some cookies I had frozen while pulling meat out to defrost.  After lunch I stated thinking about them.  I finally said to myself "one won't hurt".  I pulled them out of the freezer and plunked all 3 of them in the microwave.  Hit 30 seconds and grabbed a water out of the fridge.  Before I could close the door, I saw the fiber one muffins I had made at the begining of the week.  I pulled the cookies out and replaced them with 2 muffins!  I'm so proud of myself right now!  *Whew* that was close!

I'm sure you all have some things you'd like to celebrate!
