| |  WHoops there goes another 4lbs!!
Hi everyone
Just wanted to brag a little...I had my doctors appointment this morning and was eager to see how much weight I had lost. So far it has been 16lbs in just over a month. My doc had said to expect the weight loss to slow down after the initial loss, so I wasn't expecting much. But I have lost another 4lbs  I am so happy because it was unexpected and it makes it 20lbs so far!!! I have been exercising hard and watching every morsel I eat...so here comes NEW SHOES SATURDAY!!! |

| | Congrats! Sounds like you're doing very well, just keep it going.
Be careful buying new shoes. If you're planning to lose a lot of weight your shoe size might go down. Mine did.

Well done Lulika you are going really great, buy the shoes and enjoy them. Soon you'll have to buy new clothes too.

| | New shoes? Everyone's motivation is different.
I'd think by now you'd need new jeans....
Very good for you!

| | GREAT JOB!!! You go girl! I love shoes too but it's been years since I wore high heels. I am looking forward to the days when I have small ankles and shapely legs again! It will still be quite a bit more pounds to lose but I WILL get there!

Very nice, but I hope she has strong ankles! I would probably break my neck in those anymore!

| | Ok so here are the shoes I bought today.!.I am a shoe-aholic, but I know there are people out there, who won't understand (i.e most guys )
I just love them and they are really comfortable despite the heels...oh how I love reaping the rewards of dieting  |
