That is so very true Stef and thank you for sharing it with us. You also Rock my friend. If it wasn't for you and others here, I would have failed at this a long time ago. I thank you for all the support you have lended to me. Take care and enjoy your journey.:) 

Stef you were sent to us. I look forward to your journals and pics every day. Wish we all could have a cup of what everyone likes to drink around a table and just visit. Although I guess we do on here. Bren  

Laurie, I know exactly what you mean. I would have failed (once again, I shamefully admit), if not for the fantastic people that I have met here. God led me to this place for a reason...you know I don't really even remember how I found it! I think that I was on the Atkins site and someone mentioned it, and I happened upon that comment (out of the 1,000's there), and came here to see what it was. It was providence! Thanks, Laurie for all your kindnesses! <3 

Bren, I am raising my glass of ice water to you and my other friends!! Prost! And believe me when I say that I get more than I give!  

How nice and how true! 

Yes it is, and once again, God is reaching out to me in so many ways...I am blessed! 

Very cool stuff. God has been reaching out to me as well and I totally believe he led me here too. This is an amazing new season of my life and I am stoked to see God working on the lives of others in a similar way. Very inspiring. Thanks for the good word Stef! 

very encouraging...thank you for giving God the credit He's due! 

We all need to support each other. When we help others the hand of God is working through us. 

Another awesome message today. We are all fighting the same war, and need our friends and allies. This is a great place for support. We have so many awesome buddies on here.  

genoq, I know...it is so awesome to see all that He can do if we but let Him! Glad that you stopped in for a visit. Come back anytime! 

Kingkidz, thanks, I am nothing without Him!  

Absolutely, Runesinger! Thanks for all your support!  

Is, you are one of the true treasures that I have been blessed with on this site.....there are so many wonderful people on here and every single one of them are dear to me, but there are a few, that I feel extra close to, that bring me extra special joy....and you are one of them. Thanks, dear girl for being you! 

I will post this on my facebook as I am interested in the responses I may receive...planting seeds of wisdom...so cool Stef. Sleep well. TOWANDA!!! 

Thanks, Lisa!!! 

Stef ~ hi, and may I say your Christmas decorations are gorgous! I wanted to decorate this weekend, but got this bad cold and it just got me down bad. Still recovering and stayed home today. I love your message and it fits our personal lives as well as what we have on FS. This site is the greatest! We all have our own journey and it is a lifetime commitment, whether we are still losing or just maintaining. I shouldn't say "just" as that alone is a very hard feat to accomplish. As hard as losing. If we stay together, support each other, help each other in the tougher times, it WORKS. Our personal lives effect all other aspects of our life, weight loss, love, etc. I am glad I have so many good friends here and it has helped me enormously! I hope you have a marvelous week Stef, stay well and keep at it!! I does happen. 

Stef, thanks for the wonderful words. I too found this site by accident as I was researching Atkins.com. As I reflect back it has been 5 months since I joined FS and I can honestly say this is the longest I have stuck with any sort of weight loss plan. As we know, there is no magic bullet but for certain the support of you and all my buddies has been what has kept me going at this. For sure I would have chucked it long ago if not for you all! 

Excellent post, sweets! Right back at ye!  

weather we are geese,allies, sisters, or friends i love all the titles and am so glad we have met. again a good post to keep us all charged up and ready to go! love ya stef!
