Friday Draft


Greetings Friends~

Yesterday was the final weigh in and I am extremely pleased to announce that my hard working sister Rebecca is our One Step at a Time winner. Over the course of her journey she managed to out shine us all and finished with a total loss of 71 pounds for a whopping 27.95% loss.

Congratulations Rebecca. You look great!

As far as myself, I have lost 70 pounds since I started last fall...give or take a Costco dog or two. I am pleased at my "new" energy level and greatly surprised by the changes that this has made for me mentally.

This will be my last post...at least until September. If I am able to get the rest of the weight off over the summer while working outside on the house, then I will be happy. If not, then I may start again in the fall. If I do, I'll let you all know.

I want to give a special thanks to Irish Girl who has continued to be supportive to all of us. Thank you for being so caring.

I also want to thank the other participants. Maybe we didn't achieve all that we wanted but, if nothing else, this may have at least stopped us a time or two from bingeing or making wrong choices.

Keep up the good works because we will be successful in many things if we do them One Step at a Time.
Happy Trails!

Thank YOU travelers for allowing me to be a part of your group. It is difficult to watch your struggles, not knowing how you are really coping on the inside. I am proud to call you all my friends (and for those of you strangers, you would be on that list too if we knew each other). You are wise and brave. Nice weather is on the horizon and you are onto a great start. They say admitting you have a problem is the first step. You have done more than that. You have taken that first (difficult and painful) step to a healthier new you. Keep it up! Someone loves you and wants you to live a long and healthy life. It could be ME!
