Instilling healthy habits teaches us skills to go after other things we want in life.<br /><br />You are doing remarkable, Loretta. Don't denegrate your progress and your triumphs. Something I recently learned - celebrate each step down the road, every turn. The end is not the only victory. There are many of them along the way and they all deserve their moment in the sun. :D<br /><br />Vevie is so adorable.M Paxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096697282530998519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-43176020577850913082010-08-17T23:11:27.198-07:002010-08-17T23:11:27.198-07:00OK I laughed about the The Triumphant Turtle Award...OK I laughed about the The Triumphant Turtle Award.

Because I have been thinking about you A LOT, and thinking that I needed to come over and tell you how much I admire your perseverance. Just wonderful what you have accomplished, and especially that you just keep going. And totally agree with Chris that the slower you lose, the more likely you are to keep it off.<br /><br />Go Loretta, Go!!!debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17967505760808535408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-30349856622116816932010-08-17T20:35:04.240-07:002010-08-17T20:35:04.240-07:00the slower the loss, they say the better the chanc...the slower the loss, they say the better the chances of keeping it off. I would say your near 100 percent there. YOu are doing great.

In the world of weight-loss blogs, writers tend to disappear or to fade in and out never making any progress. You've been here, and you've been consistent, for an entire year. You had a great track record before that year, too. The slower you lose, the more likely it is to stay gone. Now I'm going to have to look for the comments that led to this post. Hehe, detective time!<br /><br />I'm giving you a third award: You're the wisest blogger I read. You might not have lost 200 pounds in six months, but you write from the heart and draw from a body of experience and knowledge. You rock!! :)financecupcakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781586611582887524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-82743219386477825482010-08-17T08:34:36.416-07:002010-08-17T08:34:36.416-07:00I think it's harder to keep going, week after ...I think it's harder to keep going, week after week, when progress is slow compared to what you have to lose. <br /><br />FIFTY-EIGHT POUINDS IS GREAT! And I understand why you call it slow. Looking back on a 58 pound weight loss feels wonderful--and is--but trudging through it, one pound at a time, doesn't feel quite so exhilarating as the look-back does.<br /><br />So we rejoice in our victory and push on, putting one foot in front of the other, with courage. And it takes courage, for that is what fuels the consistency. <br /><br />And, of course, faith undergirds it all, doesn't it? We are carried in the Father's arms. <br /><br />How cool is that?! It just occurred to me that having His arms encircle me isn't something I'd want to get done with quickly.<br /><br />But, then, when the excess weight is gone...WHEN THE EXCESS WEIGHT IS GONE!...He'll still be holding us. :)<br /><br />DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-28508221087432858822010-08-17T06:56:33.495-07:002010-08-17T06:56:33.495-07:00Thank you, Ann.

Oh wait ... YOU DID !!! Loretta, that is more than a pound a week on average! I stand by my congratulations. You deserve it. I would LOVE to be 58 lbs thinner a year from now. Slow or fast, what matters is that you are healthier today than you were a year ago, and are continuing to move in the right direction. Graciously and simply say "thank you." It is an inspiration. Stop worryinga about what others possibly may be thinking (and I don't think anyone - for an instant - thought you were misleading in any way) ... embrace the love and support and continue that journey to improved health. xxoxAnn (-50 lbs in -60 lb challenge)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17156265221593608891noreply@blogger.com
