Post by Mars »

OMG peoples!!!!!! hahahha

I have reached my first weight loss goal and exceeded it by 1 lb.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am soooooooo excited. You guys don't know how long it's been since I've weighed this "less"!

I was so excited this morning that I woke Larry up and told him. Actually, I'm suprised he didn't hear me yell when I got on the scale!

I dancing today! :dancingpenguins: YOOOOHOOOOO

Now to set my next goal - think it's going to be smaller steps than the first goal!

Have a GREAT Friday my friends!

Love :pulsinghearts:

Margie,

You've done so well - I'm really proud of you. Losing weight is so hard for most people, and you make it look easy! You should send your story into a magazine like "First". They're always featuring people who've lost weight. I went to the doc yesterday, and have lost 3 lbs. Not much, but my clothes look better. And thank you again for the tips.

Love, Marsha

Thanks everyone! Your encouragement helps to keep me on track.

Liz,
I am trying to get another avatar to work but no luck yet. I have to get another pic taken (we have a camera but no new me yet). I'll try to get another one real soon!

The next phase is to set the goal at 5 or 10 lbs at a time. The first goal set was 35 lbs. Believe it or not, I don't look thin after loosing that much but those around me can notice a difference and I notice that I have much more energy and feel better. I think I notice it more because all of my clothes are too big!

The D isn't around too much but it does pay an occasional visit but I usually I know what causes it. I think that is from changing my diet.

Thanks again everyone!

Mars

Here's to your lesser selves!
