Congrats! I know how good it feels when you work hard and can see the results! I lost 46 lbs on WW, I've kept it off for almost 7 months now. I feel so much better about myself, not just with apperance but I feel so much healthier.

You know any achievement is great whether it be 2kgs or 40kgs, it is still better to loose than to be putting on, I say WELL DONE to everyone who has battled the bulge and won and to all of those like me still working hard at it, onwards and upwards my friends, we can battle this out together, I too am here for anyone who needs the support, it is an ongoing thing and the more the merrier.

The great thing at the moment I feel so darn determined I don't even want to break my programme, since having children I have always had a slight weight problem, I am told I carry my weight well considering I am a shortie, but ya know that really does not help me much, because I am the one who see's the spare tyres and knows my BMI is not at all good, really I don't care what others perceive me as, It is how I see myself in that mirror, and the discomfort I feel at carrying around the extra.

I have my slim mirror and my fat mirror, one in the bathroom is always flattering and the one in the bedroom is not as kind, so when i feel I look good in that one I know I have will have the results I want.

Congrats to all who have done well, and let us continue to be here for each other and please boast about your success, it is hard work and something to be proud of.

Congrats!!! That is great! I'm doing the weight loss thing too so here's another cheerleader and club member. I just joined a gym last week so I'm hoping it will help get the rest of the weight off. I'm hoping to lose another 40 pounds or more.

Hooray Lori, I know you are doing exceptionally well in your w.loss journey, and I hope when you get to your desired weight you will post pics as I will, keep at it , you will get there, and it will be awesome when you do, I am just so darm impatient, it takes too long eh? I want to get there like yesterday, still I hope to shed another 5kgs by xmas, all going well.

Great to hear all these positive stories, they really help me to keep at it.

One thing that helps me is to set smaller goals. I need to lose 3 more pounds to be at the goal I set for my birthday in a week. Doubt it will happen but who knows. My next goal is to lose at least 13 pounds by Christmas. I think that one is doable, especially since I'm going to the gym on top of my nightly walking.

I do wish it would just hurry up and go away. I'm ready to be at my final goal. I will definitely be posting pictures when I get there.

Great Stuff Lori, you are right we just have to set our goals in little increments, otherwise if we are unrealistic, the old vicious cycle starts again and low and behold before ya know it one is off the wagon again.

I dishearten myself by trying on some of my clothes I had not been wearing as I had re-gained the weight, thinking I should look better in them now, but really I know I was 5kgs lighter when I wore them, talk about punishing one self, silly really, I still have a long way to go myself to be feeling great and the moments of joy and excitement don't really last long when you realise you are still not happy, it is that little voice in the head up to it's nasty old tricks again, lol, .

I am thrilled for you Lori and I cannot wait to see your new pics, you are a very pretty lady regardless of your size,you must be very proud of your efforts and achieving so much., way to go Lori.
