  • I am a success story!

    I think its time to say goodbye and call myself a SUCCESS!

    I am very close to my goal of 130lbs but in the last few weeks, I have decided that I have reached my personal goal at 133lbs. There are days that I am down a few lbs but for the most part, my body has been "hanging out" at 133lbs. Today, I am saying "Congratulatios to myself"!

    In a nutshell, I started in July 2004 at a size 20 and at 207lbs. I followed the book and created an exercise program that I could follow daily. With the support of a great boyfriend and more will power than I knew what to do with, I have successfully met my goals with in 8 months. I am full of energy and love life even more than before.

    Currently, I am wearing a comfortable size 6 in pants, size 4 in skirts, small/xsmall in shirts. I have lost over 80 inches and 75lbs. My body feels wonderful, looks good and I will continue living this lifestyle. I work out almost everyday, train with weights twice a week and will continue to tone my body. My transformation has been unbelievable.

    I want to thank everyone on the board for their support and feedback. I will still visit but not as often as I have been. This board has been a huge help and the folks on here are extremely kind. I hope to post a before and after picture once I have a new ones taken.

    I wish everyone lots of success and happiness in their journeys. This has been an amazing journey and I am so proud of myself.

    Best to all of you!
