i havent smoked a ciggy for three weeks (and survived my brother smoking around me) and have been cheat free since feb. 17th.

rodeo. Congrats.

I am so happy about your kangaroo pouch. It is nice to know that it will get smaller. I was worried about that. I have 2 kids and I remember my daughter whe she was small asking for another baby. She then said when you have another baby you will get another kangaroo pouch. I stopped at 2 kids. Have a great day

Kangaroo pouch is getting smaller (yoo....hooooo.......)

Have a nice day everybody!!!!!

Soo true!!! I'm with you on this!!

i've also been able to wear my old fav. jeans that quit fitting in December but now are getting baggy. YEEAAHH!!!!

After years of my weight going up and down, I finally made the ultimate commitment to my woe. Today I had my wedding ring resized from a 9 to a 7 1/2. I will have to really make sure I don't gain the weight again so I can continue to wear my rings.

Shamrock, those are fabulous transformation pics. Congratulations to all other posters, too. Great job.

it seems so slow when you look at the scale day to day, but it hit me today, that i have lost 11 pounds since jan 1 !! hooray! thats my little victory

I had a bad day on Sunday, it has taken me until today to get back on track. It is not worth going off I have had a rough few days with all my committments. I did get some good advice stay away from the scale for a few days and get back on track. I did that and dont plan to blow it again. Loretta

This is not a "small" victory, but I didn't really want to start my own thread about it...

I just realized this morning, that I am only7 pounds heavier than I was on my wedding day!

I'm am so totally shocked. I don't think I realized how far I'd come. I was focusing on trying to get back to the weight I was 5 years ago, when we moved to VA (140) where I looked good, and now I realize that I'm actually pretty close to getting back to my wedding day weight, where I know I looked GREAT! 3 children, and I'm 7 pounds above my wedding day weight!

When I think back to how I looked, that day, Jan 30, 1999, I realize just how far I have come! I thought that I was "heavy" that day. I was pretty disappointed that I had gained about 10 pounds from my lowest weight ever just 6 months before, which I now realize was an impossible weight for me to maintain.

Today, I feel like I'm on top of the world, knowing that I'm just a few measly pounds away from that "wedding day weight."

i baked 105 muffins this week (double chocolate and blueberry) not one tiny little morsel passed these sugar free lips

I am able to get my ten year annivserary ring off without using soap or lotion! or losing a layer of skin!

And, my boobs are staying inside of my bra like they're supposed to now, the wandering devils that they are...

Nice job everyone!!!!!!
