GOAL

Wholly Cow! I cannot beleive that I'm staring down at my scale, and it says 160lbs. Who, me? No way....I think I was 16 years old when i weighed that much....

My whole adult life, I battled with my weight...sometimes it was managable, but most of the time, it was out of control. I had given up in the last 10 years. Married, with a loving husband and 2 beautiful children. Life just gets in the way....and the heavier I got, the sadder I got, and the more weight I put on....How many years did i loose out on playing tennis, tobogganing with my kids, going swimming, going skating. Very sad!

But, as i can attest, it's possible to change it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did so, I'm living proof that with this great tool, I took back control of my life and starting LIVING AGAIN!

I'm so greatful to everyone here, and of course, my ETERNAL gratitude to Dr. Aceves!!!!...for the support and enouragment over the last 9 months, and for the courage you gave me to make the 2nd best decision in my life (1st one was accepting my husbands proposal :-))

Here I am, little ole me, at GOAL!!

Kisses and Hugs to all of you!!

Thanks to everyone who posted. Seeing your replies only inspires me and makes reaching my goal even more real. I'm still walking around in a bit of a haze, cloud like...afraid I'm going to wake up from this incredible dream.

I'm going to NYC next month, and I've hired a personal shopper to who is going to do an entire wardrobe with me. A gift to myself...(with the help of my husband).

Whooo Hoooo
