Congratulations Linden, on taking back control and turning your life around! Every success story helps another person know that they can do this too. Keep up the good work!
That's fantastic, all three of you, Linden, Bogey and Clover! I'm proud of you, and happy for you.
Cheers,
Eleanor (5'2 and none of your business but still whistle-worthy)

Linden...what a beautiful road you are on!......Congrats on your newly found lifestyle!!!
It seems tonight all I am reading are inspiring stories of strength and determination. I am impressed with the people I am "meeting" on this forum.
Congratulations on your successes.
Congratulations on your successes.
Linden, what a wonderful accomplishment! You should be very proud! I have been trying to lose all that extra "baby" weight (5'5"). Quitting smoking is a step in the right direction. Go, women power!!!
Wednesday weigh-in went well (WEEEE!!!!!)
2 more pounds off this week. 129.8 was the official number.
I have officially reached pre-pregnancy weight (my oldest is 10, youngest is almost 5 so its been a while lol).
I am now officially setting my sights higher (or lower...) and aiming for pre-marriage weight....which is only 6 pounds away!
(By the way, what IS it with getting married that makes a girl automatically gain weight? Thats screwy)
AND (to keep this on topic) Friday will be 3 months since I have had a stinky stick!

About 6 months ago I was at an all time low. I was becoming overweight for the first time in my life, I was smoking more than any other time in my life and I was a bit too fond of my nightly vodka (which probably contributed to being a bit 'fluffy'.
Upon ordering from V4L I became one of those 'accidental quitters' and it just snowballed from there as for the FIRST time in my life I actually felt a sense of control over my own actions:
About 1 month ago (1.5 months after quitting smoking) I decided I would change my eating habits. This was a real test because if I was going to make a change in my weight I would also have to moderate my drinking. I was a bit nervous about how successful I could be. A real test of how strong I actually was.
And guess what, I am one bada$$ strong woman!
I have lost *at least* 10 pounds on my 5'2" frame and I happily vape and drink decaf tea in the evenings instead of vodka (most nights at least, dang kids)
I post this here because I truly feel that PV's have changed my life and my health and my mental wellbeing in such a dramatic way...in no small part because of the community here.
I am so thankful!
Girl power ROX!
How great is this to hear? And, from what I've seen so far, the people here are quite the supportive bunch, so that couldn't hurt either lol.
Congratulations! Here's to a healthier and happier life!
