Thank you for the words of encouragement. I know the first 4 to 5 days will be tough as I come off my sugar and carb induced high. You look fantastic, and are a source of true inspiration. I can't wait to post some new during photos. |

Go for it VellaNova, this site is here to support you every step of the way! The induction flu (some do not even get it) or headaches (some dont get these either) will pass and become a distant memory in among to weekly highs of seeing either the weight or the inches go (forever!) Talking of inches... take measurements of your whole body.. neck, chest, waist, hips, biceps, forearms, thighs and calves.. Dont publish them, but use them to see where the fat is being burned.. you might have the odd week where you might not see a loss in weight, but I bet if you record these measurements each week, you will see them go down every single week!!! Good luck! Just in case praise and support alone do not work... here is some mental blackmail... We need you to succeed! Your part of a community now and we all help each other because its the lbs or inches that you loose which will help motivate us too!! Together we will alll become serious loosers!!!

Oooh, Sarbirus, there you go again with that blackmail!! HAHA! Seriously though, VellaNova, heed his words and take measurements!! When I had a rough week, I still saw inches drop. I also took pictures in 10 lb increments and my starting pics (July 09) to last week (which was roughly a 20 lb difference), you can really see the difference in not only my stomach, but my backside and definitely in my face. So do yourself a favor and measure your journey in inches, lbs and photos. You'll be glad you did. Welcome, much luck, and we're here for you, whatever you need!!

We have all been where you are--no need to worry about posting your before pics. You will be glad when you have your first during pictures to compare. Most of us have on fat goggles and can't see in the mirror just how much we have lost. You will do just fantastic! Welcome aboard!
