It's taken me since March but that's ok. I know it will last and it's the most weight I've lost in a couple of years. I have about 40 more to go but I have confidence I will get there!

thanks to all those who have supported me thru my questions and trial and errors.

Congratulations, Padame. Great job!

I love how positive you are, and am inspired by YOUR confidence. So glad you shared your progress.

What stood out most to me in your post was "me". --(you did it! --YOU hung in there since March); and "I know..." and "it will" last, and "I have confidence", and "I will..."

YOU did this. :nod:

The program is out there for anyone who wants to use it, but it only works if we "work it". YOU have "worked it" through all your questions and struggles, and trials and errors, and "look at you now"! :-D

Many many years ago, when I led a weight loss class for a group of women in St. Louis, MO (and before I had gone totally "no added oils"), I used to encourage the participants by equating their weight loss to the 4-stick pounds of butter. We all knew that wasn't literal, but we had a lot of fun using that image. We always laughed and enjoyed talking about how many sticks of butter they had taken off their bodies and from where. :-P

Sixteen pounds would equal 64 sticks of butter!!

You've released 16 pounds of body weight and gained immediate health benefits, and learned a lot, no doubt. GOOD for YOU! :thumbsup:

Keep us posted of your progress!

Congratulations Padame!

Wow Clary, what a visual... 16 lbs is 64 sticks of butter!!!!! That is something to think about, picturing that many sticks of butter stuck to me is funny- but also telling... hmm.. very interesting... very good....
