Hi Guys,

Thanks girls for your congrats, the encouragement really helps.

This forum really helps to keep yourself motivated by everyones feed back and also by reading other diaries and the success stories of those who have reached their goal. I can't wait until i have reached mine.

Thanks

Thanks Gorgeous One, you will get there, i didn't think i would ever be there again either but sticking to your plan and alot of determination you will be there in no time. It seemed a long way off when i started but it has really gone quick, seeing the numbers go down is what really keeps going, and yours are going down nicely too.

Cheers,
Purple Lady

Congratulations on being an 80s girl!



You can achieve anything, pretty lady! Just think of the party when you're a 70s girl!

Morning Everyone,

It has been a while since i have written in my diary, but i had to share this story, my 10 year old is a very huggie kid, when he gave me a hug yesterday he was really excited that he could get his arms around me and grab hold of this wrists he thought that was really cool.
I know that everyones family must be proud for them for doing this but it's little moments like this that really make it worth while.

My kids really like that i have lost weight because mum is a bit more active, I took them for a game of squash the other day something that i would not have even thought about before and really enjoyed it.

Have a great day.

Thanks

Morning Everyone,

I love seeing people that i have not seen for a while and seeing their reactions to my weight loss.
I caught up with a friend yesterday that i had not seen since i had started Cohens and her reaction was beautiful, she could not get over how much i had lost, she has only ever known me as a big girl and she was totally amazed and proud of me for what i had achieved.
It is reactions like this that really keep me determined to reach my goal.

Cheers,
Purple Lady

[Mette]

I second that! Just wait til you get to goal! You'll leave 'em all gobsmacked! Stay strong and keep smiling pretty lady!

[Gorgeous one]

I agree with Mette. Wait till your reach goal and they wont know who you are. (wolf whistles galore).
Keep up the good work and it wont be too long away.

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone else has had a look at the photo on the drivers licence lately, i had not looked at mine since i started, but i had to use it for some id the other day and could not get over how fat in the face that i was and what a differece 30kgs can make, the woman that was serving me was impressed as well.

That photo will be there until next year, then i will get new me put on there.

Thanks,

Purple Lady

I haven't looked at my driver's license, but I was sorting out some old photos the other day to put them in an album so they weren't all over the place, and I was shocked and horrified at how I looked! I don't think I've looked at those photos for years, and I had repressed the memory of what I looked like! People told me I wasn't "that overweight" when I started the program, and now I'm wondering what on earth they were thinking! Maybe having a fat person like me in their lives made them feel better about themselves?
Remember to keep that old license though! It's a good reminder of what you will NEVER be again!

Morning Everyone,

I have not written in my diary for while so i thought i had better pop in and make an entry. I don't have anything very exciting to write about.

I have been sticking to my plan 100% and have had a good weight loss, i have enjoyed trying on small sizes in the shops and being about to go into shops that i once would never have been able to go into, that is a great feeling.

Cheers
Purple Lady.
