when I first started on this weight loss venture 5 yr age I weighted in at 498 and am now down to 311 it has been a long hard 5 yrs. but I have got to do it as I have diabeties, kidney problems and heart problems. so maybe this challange will help me stay on track. Good luck to all.

truthfully, who cares about winning the FQ? and doesn't it just make people happy to just get FQ's in the mail. it's "gettin 'er done", that counts. mailed my green ones out today.

happy quilting rita's mom.

Boy, Gracie, congratulations, you give me hope that I may have the same aattitude and will stick with it. I am not a given upper either so maybe this will be the time I make it. You are an inspiration to me

WOW! I am impressed, what dedication and stamina!

I weighed 245 in mid June of 2010. I don't know what I weighed when I started, because I didn't own a scale. I now weigh 166. So I guess that's 79 pounds.

Tru made a very valid point, measure yourself. I didn't in the beginning, but I would get so down when I didn't lose weight it was hard to overcome. But when I started measuring myself, it was a reminder that I was getting smaller even when I wasn't losing weight.

Wow, CAROLJ! I'm gettin close to your pre weight and I can't even imagine 166. Way to stick with it. It's a whole life style change, would you agree?

Had planned to check back before now. I am took some Tylenol Severe Allergy pills that knocked me on my rear for 4 hours. I did do Turbo Fire, the 15 min High Intensity Interval Training disc and my knee already hurts. Gotta find something else to do.

Have a pleasant evening. I'll catch up on reading all the posts tomorrow.

I had lost 16 lbs but gained back 2. That's okay. I'm not beating myself up. I'm on the right track, just had a minor and temporary set back. We CAN do this and we WILL do this. It is so helpful to have this thread to come to and talk with all you ladies. Thanks, everyone, for being here!!!!! Hope you all get a good night's sleep. Sandy
