I KNOW you will as well, though I can't see I feel the same way about myself just now, but I still know you're right. Yes, we're all doing this together, no question bout it! Thanks for the encouragement. :) Btw, how long has it taken you to loose 55 lbs?
Reply from Lucee, Age 17 - 06/29/08 - IP#: 84.13.79.xxx At last someone who has faith that they CAN actually get the weight off lol..and after losing 55lbs, another 20lbs is like nothing, im sure you'll do it =]. Also, you will probs look awesome at 150lbs cos i am the same height as you and this time last year i got down to 150 and although i didnt think i was thin enough at the time, after gaining back 29lbs in a matter of a few months (bulimia) and finding that none of my clothes fitted me anymore i realised i must have been thin at 150 cos i think i look quite good just now at 161! This summer though i WILL lose 11 more lbs and get to 150, and this time im staying there!! I cant wait to be able to eat maintenance cals, LOL.
