    Holy Cow...

    Well, I am TWO pounds from my goal weight of 145!!! That is almost 30 pounds gone since November when I started. I did have a cheat or two along the way but each time I dusted myself off and started again. I NEVER thought it possible to write this post. I am about to cry! Happy tears of course!

    I am going for another ten pounds though now that summer is here and I can start jogging. Wish me luck!

    I must admit I still don't "look" like I lost 30 pounds...I mean, no one just says "wow, you lost weight". Which is a bit upsetting I guess. I suppose those that see me EVERY day just don't notice it. Maybe when I see someone I haven't seen in months??? Who know.......

    Anyway, YIPPIE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

              Fabby dabby Jen!!! It's a fantastically efficient weight loss - just a few months and whoosh, it's gone!

              I bet people will start to notice when it gets warmer and you are not all wrapped up in Winter clothes. And even if nobody says a thing - you know, and you feel better for it, which is really all that matters.

                Oh great!!
                I think we started around the same time and you have sure dropped faster than I did. Good on you!!

                Have you been doing OWL at all or planning on going there?

                    That's totally awesome! Well done!

                    ... but I have to ask: What are you still doing in extended induction? OWL is long overdue... you need to learn how to maintain. Shed your extra ten pounds climbing the ladder. We want you to stick around after you reach goal!

                      Awesome! When you started back during the holidays, I doubted that you would stick to it--glad you proved me wrong!

                      Now, get up the ladder so you can keep it off!

                        I have moved on.....but I re-started induction when I hit a minor "stall". But have moved back on again. I hang around this board because these are the people I check on most often. So don't worry, I am not induction only! I don't plan on gaining back.......
