I have lost a total of 13 pounds, 11 inches all over, my BMI has gone down 2 points, and my body fat percentage has gone down 4%!! All of that happened in 10 days! :001_smile: Also today July 4 (Yay America) I ate mashed potatoes!! It was the best food I have eaten in a very very long time! I am really starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel! wooo-hooo!!:thumbup:

Congratulations! That's a great weight loss!

Give yourself a big pat on the back. You are on your way to a new you. Congrats on your achievement in loosing weight.

I know that you were struggling for a few days but, you got through it and now you are on your way to a better and healthier life. (Maybe a little romance too.) Keep us updated on your progress. I'm rooting for you. Hugs, Judy

AND ... see ... YOU did make it through the liquid stage ... I know you weren't sure you were going too - I felt the same way - but YOU did it!

Wow, you are doing fabulous, congratulations. I bet those mashed potatoes tasted wonderful, lol!

thank you all sooo much! this website has brought me so much joy, comfort, and smiles! i am waiting right now to board the airplane to go home to florida from costa rica. i'm scared about being back in my "normal" surroundings. having my car to go anywhere. hanging with friends. if i got through being stuck at my father's in the middle of nowhere costa rica, i can survive orlando, florida! i will update everyone after i'm home and have recovered from my jet lag!! :001_tt2:

You'll do fine once you're back in your own surroundings -- you've gotten through the worst of it. Congratulations and bon voyage!

Heck Vegasgirl and I both live in Vegas. Talk about restaurant heaven! lol

You got that right -- if you can't find something to suit your cravings here in Las Vegas, you might as well just give up eating!
