Smile Yes! I will do it!!!

This time I will succeed and MAINTAIN it!
I went from 210 to 170 (approx.) in 3 months about 4 years ago and I am now back to a size 16-18 from a 12!
So here I go and I will make it!

(I hope that by thinking positively it will actually make me that confident :o )

So here is a starting picture...I wish that I already had an after picture, but it will come!
It is only my head for now...I don't think a picture exists of me from the last few years from the neck down!

Your story's soooo similiar to mine. In 2001 I went from 219 to 172 in 3 months!! From a tight 16-to a 12....sound familiar???? ( I was on top of the world I swear!!)

Talking Re: Yes! I will do it!!!

Thanks so much for the support! I am not usually one to be the most social, but you ladies motivate me so much!!

So I have been really good for two days and I just checked and I am between mod and high!!! Yay for purplish pink! :jump:

I have been getting creative (I think) with my food. Mabye I should post something in the recipe section, especially since that is how I found this site!
