I am so happy to hear that everyone is doing so well with their weight loss!!!

Cataholic, sounds like a GREAT start and I'm sure you'll be sheding the pounds in no time!

CalliesMom, I wouldn't worry about that "pound or two" . . . a pound or two fluctuation is pretty normal. But almost 30 pounds since September is great! Keep up the workouts and try to eat better . . . sounds like you're doing fantastic!!!

Lori, I KNOW you've got guns, girly! Yours are probably bigger than mine by now! I've been doing arm day with my hubby lately though, so I may be able to beat you at an arm wrestling match before it's over with! LOL . . . I'm having a tough time with my tris . . . that's why I'm working out with him. I've got granny flab, LOL . . . so he's putting me through the wringer, trying to catch my tris up with my bis. Guess I've been neglecting them.

Ally Cat's Mommy . . . I haven't had a baby, but I know that it's hard to loose that baby weight, so congrats for doing that, and then some!

Me . . . as of today, I've lost 50 pounds since Feb of 04. 30 of that has just been since this past Christmas. I went from wearing a size XL or 14, really "needing" a 16 . . . I refused to shop in the Plus Sizes, which is what changed my life . . . and now I can wear a 7/8, Smalls and even XS!!! Hubby and I both eat super healthy and work out every day. I lift weights & do cardio every day . . . It's become a part of my life. A great part because I just can't imagine not being in this healthy body now. All of the hard work & sacrifice has really paid off.

I would like to see more people on this board become more health conscious! I hope that seeing this thread will inspire people to quit eating junk & start eating healthy. Start walking & exercising. Be aware of their bodies.

And I hope that we can continue to motivate each other. It's not a question of vanity . . . it's a question of good health.
