Still woking on the cookies but have lost the potatoes!

I have lost 22.5 pounds in 60 days! People are teasing me about losing 20 pounds of potatoes and how heavy those potatoes are. Yesterday one of my student's patients told me I looked like Aunt B! I told him not as much as 20 pounds ago! He had no room to talk because he looked like Santa Claus minus the beard! The guy was really a cool guy somewhere in his 60's. Some day I will post a picture to see if you all can see any difference.

Last week I was feeling a little blue and down so of course I had a little extra prayer time before going to bed. The next morning on the way to school I did feel better emotionally and started thanking God for all the things He has done for me. These words came to my mind and believe or not even tthe music which I can't put here.
How can I give thanks for all you have done for me,
How can I give praise so that all men can see
The grace you give to me when my burdens you recieve,
How can I give thanks for your care of me?

Maybe next week I will have met my half way point on loosing weight! :)

Janet....Congrats! I was hoping you were still working at it since we hadn't had an update for a while. My WW leader used to tell us not to give up at even the loss of a quarter pound--that is a whole stick of butter! You are doing great. I have a friend that has recently joined the same group & she thinks she saw you there last week...Will have to tell you about her. I can definitely tell you are changing shape!!!
