melissatwa's Journal, 07 Jan 20

Now I just want to go through and "talk to" all of you, my kind friends... Alas, time does not allow. Anyway, thank you again... Thank you for being my friends who get this journey and can help me! ❤️😊🥰🤗 

Proud of your success! 

I think you look good in both pictures, but you look younger, healthier and happier in the after pic 😎 

You look really good, it's so much fun to see people succeed!  

Look at Lovely You! Beautiful in both photos. Inspiring loss. Well done! 

You look amazing Melissa!! So much healthier! Love following your journey! 💕 

You not only look fantastic, your skin has a radiant glow. So well done, Melissa! 😘 

wow! you look great! 

Very nice! 

Melissatwa, I LOVE "The freedom to move and really live..." because I TOTALLY relate to this statement! One day I suppose I just had an epiphany and realized that age, childbearing, menopause, etc., were only excuses to "justify" the weight gain, aches and pains, creaks and moans, where I was at, how I got there, how long it took me to get there, yada yada...and kept me from being truthful to myself and really free to be ME at this time in my life. After all, it's supposed to be downhill after a certain point, right?! Well no, waaay WRONG!!! So, I mahalo you for your accurate and timely words 🤙 

And here's my "AMEN" for Keyten 😘 

Melissa, you done good! Seriously, you are beautiful and such an inspiration. I went to my monthly massage and am truly starting over as of today. I told my masseuse, "I need to get serious about my health. I don't want to miss out on spending time with my grandchild, because I'm an old run down grandmother"! 

Thank you, guys, so very much! 🤗🤗🤗 I didn't end up going to bed last night and was trying to keep alert today while working... seeing these messages sure puts a spring in my step and strengthens me to push on with determination! I am so very blessed to have found this place and to be a part of this beautiful community! ❤️  

I want to say a particular thank you to Mrsroboto. Way back when I started, you supported and encouraged me. It was the welcome I needed and your words helped me believe I could succeed at reaching my goals! I usually try to reply to everyone who posts on my journal, and this is sort of killing me to just send a blanket thanks. I hope you do understand how much your encouragement means to me.  

Didn’t go to bed? At all? Like up all night? Oh my, that’s difficult. Please take good care and here’s to a better night my friend! 💕💕 

Melissa, perfectly fine! 💙😘💙  

Oh Melissa, you are such a sweetheart! 🥰 You have no idea how happy it makes me, to know that my words helped you! I feel the same way about those people who supported me when I first started on FatSecret. Before I knew it was actually possible to do this, when I had such a huge mountain to climb, those little comments of support and encouragement were the thing that kept me going. My hope is that everyone here feels that same love and support, to see them through all the ups and downs of this journey. Love ya girl! ❤️ 

That's very true Melissa. I didn't realize that until one day when I was on the goat farm and I looked at the goat fence and I was like, "I can jump the fence!" Sure as you know, I flew over the fence! This was a week after I got into onederland and I have been flying since! 

Awesome transformation!! 👍🏻 

Wow, what an amazing transformation! I love FS, because it is so encouraging to see others hitting goals, and encouraging others, only because they are brave enough to put it out for others to see! Great job! You’re beautiful!
