Oh my goodness Trillex, I have tears of joy running down my face!

I am soooo happy for you! I knew you would do it!

In the beginning, I didn't want to give you the standard, "If I could do it, so could you" line; that's not what you were wanting to hear. But I knew based on your posts throughout this forum that you had the determination and focus to succeed! So I guess 'cause I didn't tell you you could do it, I don't get to say, "I told you so."

Sweet Lady, thank you so much for sharing this with me! I am so honored and humbled that you feel, I in some small way inspired you! WOW, what a feeling!!

Stand up, take a bow and be proud! You deserve this, celebrate your success!

You're a rock star!!

I don't want to make you cry, too! I've cried enough for both of us. HaHa!

I just want you to know what a great, positive impact you've made by sharing your experiences. I feel like the hardest part of losing weight is the simple act of sticking with it. So, as wonderful and sustainable as I think the Atkins diet is, I needed a role model -- somebody to help me believe I could actually change. I don't want to sound creepy, but you were that *real* person who made me feel that smaller sizes aren't just for girls who have always been tiny. I really, really don't want to sound like a stalker but I can't thank you enough.

It's very strange...I can only see the first two entries on your after story. I want to see your updates but can't.

Hi, Chris! I've been SUPER busy since school resumed in September so I've been away from the forum. Just wanted to pop in and say "Hi!"

Stay fabulous!
