I think that it is great that everyone has a support system, I did mine all alone and it was really tough, now that my sister is so impressed she finally started to lose as well. I started losing a year ago, on Oct.25, my goal was only 30 pounds because I was always a very big girl (weighing 196) when I started, I am now 135 and have been holding there for about 3 months. I never weighed this low since I was about 10 years old. It is great being able to shop and actually like seeing what is in the mirror. The funniest thing I go through is that friends ask me do you treat yourself, jokingly I say, I treated myself for 25 years, I think it is about time that I don't, because it only makes me feel guilty. The good thing is, now, I feel guilty before I put it in my mouth, whereas before, I felt guilty after, which is too late. You go girls, and lose those pounds. If I can do it, trust me, anyone can. I still hate the fact that I had to give up alot of my favorites but the end result is worth it, I can honestly say today, that I will never let myself go again, because I matter, and my kids that are 8 and 11 are so proud of me, now I am their role model, it was worth it.
