Talking Two Month Report 52 pounds!

Yes i have lost 52 pounds and six inches on my waist. I haven't weighed this much in almost seven years. I don't think it has really hit me yet, though the compliments are nice. My pants really don't fit me anymore and my shirts are too big on me. I don't get tired as I used to during the day and my energy has sky-rocketed. It has improved my self esteem so much that I have decided to go to law school next year. I got another 78 pounds to my goal but i definitely got it in sight. Thanks to you all for all your support and posts I read everyday. The information in your posts have helped me so much that i don't think i would have done this great without you.



Thanks


Steven

Thumbs up congrats Steven

We may have written the posts, but YOU did all the hard work! Wow, 52 lbs. ... hmmm, that sounds like 40% of the way to your goal. Almost the halfway point!

Take your bows (ain't it nice to be able to bend in the middle?? )

take care, and don't be a stranger! We love success stories!

Well heavens your back and what a post! WTG!!! Walking around feeling more secure with oneself is a great feeling and to think of law school too... cause of this feeling....Wow...isn't it great!

Give us some facts, let others know what you went through, how you felt what you thought etc. Its amazing how one reads about someone like yourself that is so successful and it allows someone else to have hope

Man this is great.....really proud of you

How fantastic Steven!!!!

It does take a while for the "new you" to sink in. Don't you just love it!

Thank you so much for de-lurking and letting us know what's going on. I wonder about the lurkers and it's great to hear of your success.

What were the things you read here that you found to be most helpful?

Karen
