Acceptance Speech:" I'd like to thank..."
The stars always thank every person they met on their way to the top when they reach the pinnacle of their career by winning an award or trophy. Who would you include in your acceptance speech when you reach your pinnacle on this WOE?
I know that if I wait until I get to my goal, I'll unintentionally forget half the people who played major roles in getting me there. Why not start the list now -- you can always add to it as you get closer and closer to the spotlight!
______
I for one would like to thank:
Kent (aka Bowulf) - never would have stumbled across this site or returned to Atkins if I had not stumbled across one of his YouTube videos.
Brook - for her incredible tranformation pictures that she has shared with us. A major motivation boost.
Brandee - who has taken it upon herself to stick to the plan (and the board) in an effort to keep me from quitting.
ariannasmom - who sent me a note of encouragement for no apparent reason, but at just the right time reminding me to do the same for others.
MarkE - for being my long lost clone (roughly same age, height, weight, and family status) who is my "yardstick" on this WOE, and unwittingly challenges me to stay even with his progress.
*Lisa* - for her C25K progress meter in her sig which has me itching to get started on my first 5K.
julierama723 - for proving that a marathon is not out of the realm of possibilities for a fat, old man
not2late - although we got off on the wrong foot with my misunderstood "puritan" comment, she is always around to remind me about not eating enough veggies!
Tom - for providing this fantastic site (and for allowing women everywhere to use him as their excuse for retaining water!)
The hardest part of thanking people is that I panic that I'm overlooking obvious ones. The beauty of this thread is that I can add the rest of you as I think of specific reasons.
Feel free to add your own friends to thank with your reasons.

but this board (everyone) has been a big part of my life during this journey (but it's far from over). But I think the first person on my list would be my husband. I wouldn't have been able to do half the things I did in the last few years if it wasn't for him.
......I think it'll work.
