7 Month Surgiversary!! :)

Here's the Couch to 5K program I used to get started (there's tons out there). It's a really good one. Also, you can take your time with it if needed. Do each week twice or whatever - you make up your own rules. The most important thing is to finally get it done I'm rooting for you!!!

Hello Misspatrice, you look simply amazing. Really! Thank you so much for sharing with us the troubles you had, it's so good to know we are not alone out there. You've done a great job, congratulations!

Thank you guys for all the sweet and motivational comments. I probably should have not strayed from this site when I lost motivation. That might have gotten me back on track quicker. Thanks

Thanks for the link! 5k here I come lol

Dang girl, you were gorgeous before (truly truly) but now you are just stunning!!! You look like the younger sister of your before picture.

I hear you so much on the frustration...it is hard to keep going when you work hard for an entire month and net a -2lb loss (or like you said even a gain!) it's hard to keep your head in the game when the scale doesn't tell you what you want to hear.

But here we are 7 months later and still rocking our sleeves. Glad your "break" from here wasn't permanent, it's good to see you around.

Thanks again for the wonderful comments. You guys are all too sweet. It means a lot. I sometimes want to share how far I've come. But a lot of the women in my family are overweight and sometimes I feel like I don't want to share how much I've lost because I don't want it to be interpreted as "bragging" . . . does anyone else experience that?? I just feel like here I can be honest and speak the truth and everyone always understands. I'm never leaving again. lol

Yes we made it to 7 months! Seems like just yesterday I was waiting for my phone call to get a date!

Ohh no! We cherish and APPRECIATE hearing all the good stuff here! I hear you though on the wanting to keep certain things to ourselves IRL. I'm glad you decided to stick around for good now. If not, I'm gonna bug you till you respond. Heehee
