I DID IT!!! Tonight I reached my TOPS weightloss goal!! Altogether since a couple of months before I joined TOPS, I've lost 71 lbs! My TOPS total weightloss since joining in January 2010, is 63 lbs!! Yay me!! So very happy I did this!! Very well worth all the efforts, passing up foods, taking my own foods with me to restaurants, peoples homes, on vacation trips and so forth. Well worth it all!! I can walk better with less effort and pain, my arthritis pain is gone, off of blood pressure medication and all of my blood counts are very good!! Oh, and having to buy a whole new wardrobe is so much fun!! Expensive, but loving it!! Thank you to everyone who was so supportive of what I've been doing. My biggest supporter is my sweet husband who has been so patient and wonderful through all of this. So thankful for my fantastic TOPS Chapter, they are the best!!! My greatest message board supporter is a dear lady called "Hugs"! Grateful for my Sandbox and Time-Out fitness threads friends!! Thank you dear ones for always and ever being encouraging and positive with me!! Loving {{{HUGS}}} to so many who have stood by me!! This has been one of the hardest and most rewarding things I have ever done in my life!! Now the hard part begins...maintenance! It happens to be something that I'm pretty good at though. Losing was not my strong point before making this commitment, but maintenance wasn't that hard before doing this. I can do it!!
