Well been exercising like a good girl since the last of May.....Been trying to do it three to four times a week if not more....Knew it would be hard because of the excess skin BUT GEEZ!!!!! Finnally today some definate results down 10 and dont know about the inches BUT know how I feel and how the clothes fit......NOW if it takes me this long to drop 10 how darn long before the last 35 is gone....BUT HEY know what its taken me eight to get off 401 so who cares....I AM JUST SOOOO DARN HAPPY RIGHT NOW........MATTIE

Mattie the closer you get to goal the harder it will be. Just think how far you have come. You must smile everytime you pass a mirror.

Oh Mattie, you sound soooooo good - hang in there. I have found that sometimes one of our worst enemies is "lack of patience". One idea - make your goal 10 lbs at a time. Don't think beyond that next 10 lbs. And keep motivated! Hang out an outfit in your closet that is just a "little too tight" and strive to get into it. Everyday you go into your closet you will see it. Just some thoughts from me to you. Pony150

Thanks...new clothes I got and alot of other things.....Like I said if it took me 8years to get off 401lbs then I can wait till the last 35 come off.....I just wanted to let everyone know that it takes time and alot of it BUT it is well worth the struggle...

Wayyy to go Mattie. Our inspiration girl is back.. YEEAAAHOOOO
