This morning I had a good look at myself in the mirror and noticed some
very definite changes. I came here a few weeks ago, frustrated that the
fat on my hips wasn't going, well, it's going now! And it shows. I fit
into pants I couldn't wear for a year, and they are comfortable and no
longer "hold-my-breath-or-I-burst" pants.

All of a sudden I found myself turning back and forth in front of the
mirror to admire my physical shape. And I really liked what I saw there.
Very good motivator, I will do that more often! In a couple of weeks I
will visit some relatives who last saw me 15lbs heavier, I wonder what
they will say.

I have posted at another diet group (in my native tongue) and the only
thing they can do there is flame eachoter over the pills they take to
boost their metabolism. With that as a backdrop, this group is friendly
and helpful. Imagine that! ;-)
