An Incredible Accomplishment !

I'm a lurker and hope you will forgive me breaking in on your Board like this. I'm always looking for inspiration (as I have LOTS to go) and want to thank all of you for many helpful thoughts and tips.

I read the IVillage WtWatcher Board too and am absolutely AMAZED (jaw-dropping is the word!) at one of the posters over there. If you have a minute, please go check out her latest posting with her photojam and single photos along with it. I don't know if I'm allowed to say her user name going from one Board to another, and I don't want to violate any TOS. However, her posting is staying near the top and you can find it pretty easily. At last count I think there were 43 responses to it!

She started at 250 lbs. and just reached her goal this weekend, losing 116 lbs. What an incredible transformation that is shown in her photojam. I'm jealous (lol...) but she has always posted very humbly and helpfully to others. She has four small children as well.

It shows it IS possible. It CAN be done! (Just wish it were me!!)

Thanks Shawna! Holly IS amazing for sure. What I'm most appreciative of now though is your kind reply and invitation for me to feel free to stick around. That is really nice of you! Everyone here seems to be so open and helpful, and you are one of the main reasons why I lurk here. You describe your own struggles which I can really identify with. Makes me feel less alone with mine, for sure.

Congrats on how well you've done already. I know you're upset about your summer clothes, but try not to let it get you down. Losing weight is hard! Give yourself a break. I know - easier said than done. Still, your willingness to come on this Board and talk about your feelings, good AND bad, has been helpful to more people than you can imagine. Thanks again (on behalf of all lurkers) for sharing your true thoughts and feelings.

Btw, I love your siggy! Your little furbabies are so lucky you adopted them. They are adorable!
