24lbs lost..do not want them found!! Thank You!!

Just wanted to take this time to thank all my friends & family for all the continued love & support, inspiration & motivation to keep me moving forward each & everyday with my workouts & healthier eating habits. As of today I have lost a total of 24 pounds since the beginning of February. Some days are definately harder then others, but I now know, I can do this, and I will continue to work hard to lose more weight and get myself healthy. Thanks again my friends & family! I love you all!!!

Can I just say one more time how very PROUD & INSPIRED I am by you? You know we've both battled the weight stuff for most of our lives and I've loved you through it all (thick & thin...pun intended).
But as we grow older, I DO worry about the long term effects, especially once you developed diabetes. Not to mention that it just gets harder and harder to lose! So now, watching you take this bull by the horns and take absolute charge of your life, I have never been prouder of you (and I have been proud of you many, many times so this is indeed something)!
As I've dealt with many of life's problems over the past few months, I've really stopped taking care of myself. Now you have become my inspiration and my role model. You make me want to do better because YOU are doing better and do more because YOU are doing more. So I thank you for sharing this very private struggle so publicly and taking us along on this journey with you. You may think it's "you" who is getting the support & encouragement through sharing, but truly Shari, it is you who is giving the encouragement & support by being fearless. My body thanks you and my heart thanks you. I can't WAIT to grow into hot old women together! I love you !! Love, Pam

Thank You Pam!! I am glad I am helping you and others while you and others are helping me. I don't know if I would have been able to do as much as I have done without all the love and support from all my friends and family. I was devastated when I found out I had Diabetes. I cried for days about it. It took me a while, a year in fact to realize that I was the ONLY person that could do something about this. With the job change, I figured it was a great time to grab the bull by the horns and start a new lifestyle. I enjoy going to the gym, and cutting out the crap food wasn't as hard as I had thought,(don't get me wrong, I do cheat from time to time,LOL) But I will tell you, its the kudos,and the compliments, that really keep me going day to day, especially on those real tough days, which are becoming fewer & fewer. You have been such an IMPORTANT part of my life forever Pam, so your words of encouragement mean more to me then you will ever know. We will face this battle together, get healthy together, and definately grow into HOT old women together!! I Love You Too!!!!! Love,Fuzz
