THANK YOU GOD...WHEN I STARTED THIS JOURNEY, I PRAYED AND ASKED GOD TO GIVE ME THE STRENGTH AND WILL POWER TO SUCCEED. I AM SO GLAD TO SAY THAT MY PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED THIS YEAR BEYOND MY WILDEST IMAGINATION. I HAVE LOST A TOTAL ON 59 LBS AND I AM STILL GOING STRONG. ALL THIS IN 5 AND A HALF MONTHS. I KEEP CHALLENGING MYSELF TO DO MORE AND IN MORE I MEAN MOVING MORE. I LOOK FORWARD TO MY EXERCISE SESSIONS AND THOUGH I CAN'T SAY IT'S MY FAVORITE THING TO DO, I HAVE GAINED A NEW INSIGHT. WHEN I USED TO EAT JUNK AND TOO MUCH OF IT, I FELT GREAT FOR THE SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME THAT I WAS EATING IT THEN I FELT HORRIBLE FOR NOT BEING STRONGER THAN THE FOOD, BUT WHEN I EAT HEALTHIER AND EXERCISE, I DON'T ENJOY DOING IT AT THE TIME BUT THE PAYOFF IS AMAZING AND THEN I AM SO GLAD I DID IT. I DECIDED TO TRADE THE SHORT AMOUNT OF SATISFACTION FOR A LONGER HEALTHIER ME AND I MUST SAY THAT 2009 HAS NOW BECOME MY FAVORITE AND MOST SUCCESSFUL YEAR EVER

When I started this journey in February I wasn't very hopeful about loosing weight on my own without surgery, however after being placed on the liquid protein diet and was so successful on it, I decided to try thyis diet and exercise thing again with a new attitude. I cancelled my surgery as many of you already know then I went on a "oh my God what have I done streak". Anyway, I had a great support system who told m I could do it. I immediately started thinking about all the weight being gone and all the things I could do because of it.

I came onto  this site and I found this forum and started reading others postings. There was somebody's posting that I read "Can't remember who now" but that person had lost 45 lbs on her own without surgery. I was so jealous and inspired all at the same time. It motivated me and I joined a silent race to get to that 45 lb weightloss...This was to be one of my mini goals to get me through this weight war.

Well imagine my joy when I got up this morning, weighed and am now officially down 45 lbs, I coulld sing, dance, yell, cry and everything else in one....I am estatic and so very proud of myself.

Today my friends is a great day

OK SO I DID SOMETHING TODAY THAT I AM NOT SO PROUD OF. I MADE MYSELF GET SO HUNGRY BECAUSE I WAS AT WORK AND I JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME. WELL I DIDN'T OVER-EAT WHEN I FINALLY GOT THE CHANCE TO EAT BUT I HAD PROMISED MYSELF THAT I WOULD ALSO PUT MY HEALTH AND MY WELL BEING FIRST AND THE FIRST SIGN OF A SWAMPED DESK, I CHOSE WORK OVER ME. NEVER AGAIN THOUGH (OR NOT ON PURPOSE).

I AM PROUD OF THE FACT THAT WHEN I CAME HOME FOR DINNER I CHOSE TO HAVE A BAKED PIECE OF FISH AND SOME CABBAGE. I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL ME URGE TO OVER EAT AND PULL THROUGH THAT MOMENT A WINNER...ANOTHER VICTORIOUS DAY FOR ME:-) SORT OF..OH YEAH AND NOW I AM DOWN A FULL 35 LBS.
