112 lbs. - Still going strong!

It's been awhile since I posted here, so I thought I'd better update.  I'm at 112 lbs. now and feeling great!  I have non-scale victories daily that keep me motivated to reach my goal.  I can hardly believe that I'm less than 30 pounds away from my goal.  The time has gone by so fast, but my life has changed so much that I feel like the fat me was a lifetime ago.  Thankfully, I am able to look forward more often than backward.....slowly the nightmare of my fat self is fading away.  I look at the before picture of me and feel sorry for her.  I know how she felt helpless and desparate.  I know that she wanted to change, but couldn't find the way for so long.

I have morphed from that unhappy woman to a new woman who is delighted with life. 

Here are a few of the non scale victories I've had lately:

Noticed that my shadow is much smaller than my husbands.

Bought size 12 (not relaxed fit!) jeans at J Jill.

Wearing size "MEDIUM"!!!!

Daily comments from acquaintences and friends.

I can wear bracelets and they don't look like they're cutting off my circulation.

I can wear a choker and it doesn't look like it's cutting off my circulation.

I look forward to yard work!

I see my reflection and like what I see.

Got my first pedicure. (I never thought I deserved one before)

My rings are loose instead of cutting off my circulation.  Gonna have to have them resized.

Double chins?  GONE!

Noticed that the knee pain is gone!

No more medications - I've been medication free for 3 months.

Sadly, I've noticed that I get more attention from salespeople.

If anyone happens to read this and wonders how I'm doing it, just ask and I'll fill you in.  This plan is simply wonderful!

Weigh To Go!

You look GREAT!  Isn't it amazing that just one day out of the blue you notice that you haven't been noticing your knees hurting?  lol!  Keep up the fantastic journey!

Awesome!!

Wow, so many goals that you've achived.  I think it's wonderful.  You must have a lot of motivation and will power.  I just wanted to say congrats, your doing awesome.

How you do it

How did you stay so focus??????????????????? I need to know pass on any good ideas please

Thanks

Thanks for the comments.  How did I stay focused?  Well, for me it wasn't hard at all because as soon as I started my weight loss program, the weight started dropping off.  What more motivation does one need to continue something that is working so well?  I had such a long way to go that I guess I could have gotten discouraged if I had allowed myself, but truthfully, after about the first 20 pounds or so, I had such momentum, that I just had no doubt that I would succeed, therefore, cheating was not an option.  I never even think of cheating because I want so badly to reach my goal and to stay there.

My plan is Medifast.  If you haven't looked into it, you may want to.  It is a low calorie, low carb, low fat diet that has been clinically proven and endorsed by Johns Hopkins University Hospital. 

After the first few days of adjustment, there is no hunger and no craving.....at least that is how it has been for me.  I haven't had a piece of bread for almost a year.  I haven't had candy, or cookies, or cake for almost a year.  And the miracle is that I don't miss it at all.  It's a great plan that has been very easy for me to follow.

I invite you to go to www.makemethinner.com/forum and read some of the posts.  Go to the studio and see all of the success stories.  Read some of the journals there.  It will be worth it if you really want to lose weight.
