shameless self-promotion

Post by oolala53 » Tue Mar 20, 2012 12:33 pm

I updated my testimonial, though the most important info is in my signature lines at the bottom of this post.

I'm going to say more on the RE90X thread.

No S just keeps working, 26.5 months in.

I woke up this morning, the first day of spring, knowing it was your weigh-in day and feeling excited to see your success. A seasonal weigh-in has seemed like a terrific idea since I first saw it on your signature line. Hearty congratulations on your success! You are a living testament to patience and No S living. Yeah for you! Carry on . . .

Great job! Hug yourself for me! (really)
I guess this doesn't work unless you actually do it.
Please pray for me

So sweet, everyone! Thanks for noticing!

And I hope I didn't mislead saying the most important info was at the bottom of my signature. The weight loss was just the only update. What's more important always is finding a way to live peacefully with food and our body image.

WELL DONE!!!!! It's such an encouragement to see you continue to do so well. It's proof that this isn't a race to beat the scale, but a lifestyle of healthy eating! Many, many congratulations on a great job!

Just back from your update -- congratulations here as well!

And to further aid your "shameless self-promotion," I'll add a link to the "sticky" testimonials section up top.

Oh, did I mention this was all after menopause and 40 years of compulsive/binge eating?

Thank you again, everyone.
