Had VSG surgery in February....down 79.6 lbs. First time EVER watching the Biggest Loser as a thin person. In the past, my hubs and I would get a snack, watch the show and talk about how difficult being away from your family would be.

Last night, with no Snacks, I looked at my husband and told him that I WANTED TO GO WORKOUT after watching the show! I felt so motivated seeing the contestants start their change - seeing their determination, effort, and focus.

Sat there and wondered, during my weight loss journey, have my friends or family been motivated watching MY changes/determination/focus?

So I wanted to tell all of you - my VSG brothers and sisters, I keep coming to this site every day to watch your changes, determination and focus. I want to THANK each of you who take the time to share your successes and struggles. It keeps me SO MOTIVATED. So if you think what you are doing doesn't matter and no one is watching you...YOU ARE WRONG. You are a light for many - in person and online.

Hugs my friends....let's kick some ass this week.

What a great post. I feel very much the same.

We used to do the same thing. Where we live, Biggest Loser night was the same night as 2 for one pizza and so we always had my friend come over, pizza and I would make a dessert. haha It was always a fun night in a weird way.

Proud of your success! Feels good doesn't it?

That was how I felt too, motivated!

Susie in Lima - it feels FANTASTIC!

And don't you look fantastic, HoosierGirl!! On the home straight now :-)
