Congrats Tracey,

I am so happy for you ! But this must mean I need to get off my

backside and start exercising as I have been on a long plateau !

Thanks for letting me know it just might be worth it !

Tracey,

If you can't brag to us then who can you brag too? Congradulations hun, I am so

proud of you. Keep up the good work.

Hi everyone!

I had to post and brag. Sorry! For the last few months I've been

eating low-carb and upping the exercise. I knew I'd lost some weight

because of the tape measure but I was thinking 2 or 3 pounds. When I

went to the doctor in September I weighed 185 pounds. When I went to

the doctor last week I weighed in at 176 pounds!! I haven't been in

the 170's since I was 20 years old! I still keep thinking there had

to be something wrong with the scale. I am SO excited!

So, it CAN be done! My weight loss window closed well over a year

ago. At that time I asked Dr. K if it was possible to still lose

weight. He said yes, but I would have to do it the traditional way.

And he was right! I'm so happy! I finally believe that I can reach

my goal and get down to 163, which was what I weighed throughout most

of high school.

Sorry if this is annoying but I knew you guys would understand how

thrilled I am since I've been whining about not losing anymore weight

for a year now.

Hugs and love!

Tracey

I find your post to be truly inspirational and I thank you for sharing

it. I have been having a lot of talks with myself about how more effort really

should help me to move the scale downward. Even small changes can add up.

I am SO PROUD of you! Thanks for being a fine example and I hope to

follow your lead yet again! Hugs from Washington!

[Guest guest]

Dear Tracey,

How WONDERFUL!!!! You can do it!! BTW, this IS the place to brag - as

it is not so much bragging but sharing the good news of the DS with

your switch sibs!

Whooo! HOOOOO!!!

Yea, Tracey!

How fantastic for you, I am so proud of you and now am so inspired

have the inspiration and the hope that I can do it too!

Have a wonderful holiday, Merry Christmas, and a wonderful new year,

filled with all you hope for !

love you, my friend!

Thanks Kristy! I'm still floating on a cloud!

Sorry about your poor beemer! It looks terrible! All the more

reason to be happy that you're going to recover and be all right.

And best of everything with the possible new job!

Thank you, Kim! I knew you guys would understand. It feels so good

Thanks Ginger! Ooooo, 160 pounds! I'm so jealous! LOL! That would

be a true dream come true for me. And I am convinced the exercise

really makes a difference. Maybe the trick is finding something you

enjoy. I love to walk so that's an easy one for me. But, there are

so many other alternatives. I hope you can find something right for

you.

Hugs!

Thanks ! It's funny how guilty we feel when we brag, even when

we know we worked hard for something. Of course, there's still lots

of hard work ahead of me. And I feel ready for it!

Thanks Lee! It feels so good to know all the hard work paid

off! Having all of you here to encourage and support me was a big

part of it. So was faith. And I'm grateful for both!

Thanks so much, Marta! I agree! I love hearing about the success of

others so I don't know why I was shy about sharing my own. But, with

all the wonderful responses, I'm glad I did!

Thanks so much ! I wasn't trying to be an example, really. I

was just so tired of being frustrated by the tape measure and the

scale! Knowing that it can be done has made a huge difference in the

way I'm going to attack this from now on. In fact, I usually don't

exercise on Tuesdays but I did tonight because I know it WORKS!

LOL! I know you can do it, too!

Hugs!
