Thank You All for a Great Year

Postby bikipatra » November 22nd, 2007, 2:07 am

November 22 is my one year anniversary of starting Medifast. I have been back on the WW Core program (no counting points except the few you get each week!) since September 28th but still feel very much at home here and feel I have so much to learn and share. I lost the majority of my weight on Medifast. Three days this week I did get below goal but wanted to maintain it before I announced it because my weight has been fluctuating so much. Today I am at ticker weight so I will see if I can get there again and feel comfortable saying I have reached goal. It doesn't help that I am getting up at 3am. From a year now of personal experience I know I weigh less at 6am than I do at 3am if I don't eat or drink more than a sip of water and go back to bed. But I am not going to torture myself and stay in bed wide awake with no coffee or water for 3 hours so I can post a lower number. I have done than more than once and you know how I love my coffee. What silliness but I was scale obsessed! The board was with me with my sleep/mental health problems all last winter and let's just hope it's better this time. In fact, the board was with me with all my life events this year, my non-compliance, my compliance, my sleep issues, my whininess, my attitude(s), my celebrations. You were even with me in Hong Kong! Thank you. Thank you for holding my hand through over 93 pounds of weight loss. My friends. :hug:

Biki, you are such a sweetheart. What a lovely post! You've come a long way. Even though I don't post too much I do read and feel like I know you. I'm thankful for how much you've shared here. You are a true inspiration to so many I'm sure. You've battled more than just your weight and you have shown that people can change their lives. Happy Anniversary and Happy Thanksgiving.

Biki - I haven't been here long enough to have supported you through much of anything, but I have been here long enough to have been supported BY YOU. I am truly thankful for your journey and the encouragement you are able to offer because of it. While I would not wish your troubles on anyone, the fact that you have overcome them is an inspiration to me.

This time of year always makes me think back on the year that has passed and thank God for ALL that has happened. Good and bad, it all worked to make me the woman that I am.

You have battled some terrible demons in your life, and I believe they have all made you a stronger woman. I am blessed by your journal and your respones in not only my journal, but in many others that I enjoy reading.

Thank you for being you!

WTG Biki!

Isn't it amazing what can happen in a year?
Just imagine what'll be next year at this time - goal weight, movies, VIP rooms... ;)

Thanks for being such an inspiration to everyone here.
