You are doing so good. Things are really looking up for you. You are such an inspiration to me. Thanks for the compliment on my new picture. How long did it take before you started seeing a difference when you looked at yourself? I guess all I can see is just the ol Kaye and how much more I have to lose but you and Jodie have made me stop and take a secnd look. That old woman don't look half bad.lol You will be in my prayers when you have your surgary. God bless you. Kaye

that's great you are getting so many good compliments. your doing great . and have come so far. your such an encouragement.

I'm sorry I took so long getting back to you. I don't have a lot of time to get on the internet. Mainly due to it being so slow an the fact I am switching carreers I got laid off and now I am training for a new carreer. Happy excited and frustrating all in one. My healthy eating has taken a back seat I have gained 10lbs back. But for some reason I am okay with that. I didn't beat my self up over it. I just jumped back on my horse and now I'm moving forward. I love your 2/21 post about being thankful for each day and thats just how I feel. I don't know if it's the fact I am 49 but for once I don't feel ruled by my weight it's there but It no longer has power over me like it did in the past. I want to lose the weight the diffrents is I'm not obsessed with it like I was when I started this journey. Congratulations on your great news of gaining a son-in-law. It is great that you can bake her wedding cake what an honor. Those cakes are so expensive. I am so happy for you. You have raised three wonderful young people and now it's Sister-C's turn. to get out there and enjoy life. Like you said life is precious and we must live it too our fullest. So your baby finally chose a college I shall pray for him that Father God bless him on his journey. I can't believe you haven't had surgery yet I thought for sure you were recuperating at home then I read your post that you hadn't had it yet. Wow I pray your not in pain. I know you said your on lite duty. but when your in pain lite duty isn't all ways lite enough. I can't believe you have a 112 pd lost........that is so amazing can you recognize your self when you look in the mirror. My son was 230 now he is 169 and he tells me he refuses to wear cheap underwear and that it feels so good not to have a gut that he walks around his place in Calvin Klien underwear and it feels so gooood but he sometimes don't recognize his face bc it's thin and he is use to having a round fat face. I will be praying for you. Your dedication to your goals strenghtens many on this site including me for this is no cake walk......................twistygirl

Hi, this is LJC, aka Laura. I'm back on here after ruining most of the work I did last year. I stopped excercizing and started eating unhealthy and gained back #14. I am so ashamed and angry with myself. I feel so gross. I have tried so hard to get back to losing so far this year but to no avail. I'm just so blasted hungry all the time. I really need help and support. I'm so proud of you for sticking with it and losing so much!!! I need to get back to exercizing. I can't use the treadmill for more than 10 mins or walk for more than 30 mins. I don't want to go to the Y, but I should. I want to go to Curves, but it's so far away. See, I'm letting the excuses win. What I really want/need is a buddy in my town to do these things with. I know, go and make friends there, but that's so hard for me. Arg! Don't I sound like a whinny baby? Well, goone stop now and wait for your response. Again, I'm so proud of you!!!

I loved your post today. You are on the inspiration end of this journey.. your post of the specific experiences of joy that we all can too experience are essential for my journey. I printed your post and hung it on my "inspiration" collage on my wall. It also reminded me today how much we are truly a family here.. I felt such a warm wonderful feeling inside hearing of the joy in your life.. a warm feeling you only get when a loved one tells you of their joy. I'm glad we are on this journey together.. each person on here is just the right person, at just the right time.. luv-ya-bunches Coni

Hey buddy! 110 pounds.. Gosh I love you. Just a shimmering star to behold. Thank you for your post on the 12 th .. 30 days to go to March 15 th .. I needed a good countdown! Did we post our weights somewhere on where I needed to be for the 15 th ?? I keep trying to remember. I think my goal was to be down 50 pounds by my birthday… because I remember sayeater having the same goal but for her birthday? If you remember, let me know what goal I wont be hitting J I just may have a chance though. I’m feeling good about tomorrows weigh-in.. that combined with lent beginning today and lasting 40 days. Why should lent matter? Well I’m doing a strict two shakes a day two small snacks and one lean meal for 40 days.. NO EXTRAS.. I’m usually real good with my lent commitments.. I’ll be 1200 or less each day.. that isn’t very much for me.. my weight loss should jump up drastically. I just may still make my birthday goal yet. I hope me postponing my 5k to April hasn’t disappointed you.. it was so hard for me to post my decision to put it off.. even harder to do it. But I the way I’m feeling now, I know it was the right thing. I’m with you too on the spring thing. This weekend it is finally getting up to 70.. it has been an unusual cold winter for us here.. and it just wont end! We usually have one or two days of winters.. it has been months now. I hate it. Your winter.. I just don’t know how you could do that. Well, just wanted to pop by and say hi and read some posts of your journey.. have a great week!

That hardly seems possible does it?! You've worked so hard and been so dedicated. I wish I could tap into that. Still need to get my exercise piece of the puzzle in place. I'm hoping that warmer weather will bring motivation, but it's still a ways off, so I'm just going to have to try harder I guess. Thanks for the positive energy and for being a powerful role-model. Weigh-in is tomorrow, hoping to break the 50 barrier!!!!

Yes, I got sick after my daughter and with my daughter.. then there is mom.. gosh life just keeps on. I jumped on the scale at Publix this morning to check things out.. still the same as when I left.. happy to see that. Man, got the 5k coming and the birthday goal.. not looking good for the 15 th but we’ll see what the next few weeks will bring. I got some SF shakes in the purse today for work.. lots of water and Happy Monday! Mondays are always a good day to start anew once again. Spent 30 minutes on the treadmill this morning, feeling GREAT!

thank you for the positive input. sometimes it helps to see what we know as true in print. saw where you had a break even week too. lets blame it on the weather. have a good week.

I was just stopping by to see how you are doing? Wondering if you had your surgery or are you recovering was reading your post but you didn't state anything concerning this matter. I pray all is well with you and your love ones. What a wonderful year you have had. You have been a blessing to many here on this site as well as those around you. I know you have been a blessing to me. I thank God for all my slimfast buddies and the support they give. I pray for a speedy recovery...........twisty

so what your saying is you weren't always the bundle of optimism and happiness? If I just crossed that bridge you are talking about.. that is one we need to poor some gasoline on and burn baby burn! I am feeling just fantastic. I woke up early this morning.. wanted to sleep in.. and talked myself out of bed and did my 30 minutes of training. I felt extraordinary afterwards. I just got to keep reminding myself of that.. tomorrow is walking only then Sunday is.. well my training really gets turned up a notch, more like 4 or 5 notches. I'm a bit nervous but excited as well. This 5k is brining it all together.. combined with our Ides of March mini-challenge. I'm going to have a superlative birthday.

this event should not bring cameras.. speaking of that.. Zoë was trying to show me my butt running to the water last night on YouTube.. she found a new video, YAY! ha ha I'm so excited about my training SisterC.. I'm even excited about my training days off! I got up early and did a 30 min walk.. it's an off day - jog day tomorrow. I'll try to fit in some Wii Fitness tonight. The only thing I'm not liking about my Wii Fitness is I do the body analysis daily.. I've gained every day! What the heck, right? I'll still focus on the scale at Publix on Thursday.. just no way to motivate a girl. Well, lets keep on moving this week.. the clock is ticking until your weigh-in on Monday.. get out there and move! Have a great day SisterC

I was wondering when this day would come around.. I poked through your announcements the other day and knew it had to be soon. I hope a year from now I can look back and say I've come as far.. what a road, what a challenge. I am in total admiration oh you SisterC. I see this as only the start of the new you.. just some layers that had to come off to get inside. I do think your wrong about some stuff, like I don't believe the compliments will stop. You are beautiful.. I can see that through what you write, I'm sure it is even more spectacular in flesh and bones. Happy Day to you SisterC. Glad I have you as a guide.. someone to test the waters and tell me how great it is and just jump in. Happy Day!

I love you... thx for the confession, I needed that. Next time though, if you were in the freezer, maybe hold them on the shoulder for pain instead of in the mouth? Funny creatures we are... I would figure out how man calories in like 2 first.. then after the 2, figure out what a serving was and then eat 1/2.. only to eat the whole serving.. and I'd be right there.. with not a rolo is sight. oh how I hate it. I'm so sorry about your pending surgery and the pain, you are dealing and it must be hard. You are very lucky to have lost the 100 pounds before surgery, you are in a much safer, healthier and just better condition to have surgery. I have a vivid memory of dissecting a frog in biology. I somehow ended up with an obese frog, if you could believe the odds.. thinking back I bet my teacher made sure I got that one. My dissection was so HARD.. trying to get under all that stuff, fat cells. It was an awful memory. Sorry I just went there sisterc.. just made me think how everyone else had "normal" frogs and the dissection was easy. OK.. just posted the 5k training is back on! I don't turn 41 till the 15th of March, as you know because both of us have a 25 pound loss goal with others here and I'm making 0 progress on that.. but anyway. I can't forget about what I started when I turned 40. This is very important to me.
