I am sure it will come soon enough Heidi, you are still doing great! 

I think you are doing great, Heidi. You inspire and encourage me and many others. I thank you for it. <3 

Thank you 😀 

In your profile you have said a terrible thing, a negative thing and it does not seem to fit with your personality somehow. You have said “IF I CAN DO IT”. Now come on, what with the “IF”. Let me give you some information about that terrible word and hope you never use it again. If you think you are beaten, you are; If you think you dare not, you don't. If you'd like to win, but think you can't It's almost a cinch you won't. If you think you'll lose, you've lost, For out in the world we find Success being with a fellow's will; It's all in the state of mind. If you think you're outclassed, you are: You've got to think high to rise. You've got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize. Life's battles don't always go To the stronger or faster man, But soon or later the man who wins Is the one who thinks he can.”  

@I will win: Hi, and thanks for your comment! I'm a very persistent person, actually! However there are times when I realise that I might have bitten off more than I can chew, and I hate feeling that I've failed, so I think my 'if I can do it' was a get-out clause, but to be used in a positive way 😀 I never fail, but I might change my objectives from time to time 😎 When I last updated my bio in September, I wasn't even entirely sure that 135 was the right number for me. More than anything, I want to feel comfortable at maintenance. As it happens, I changed my goal weight up a couple of pounds, literally two pounds, to encourage myself to slow down! And have now increased calories to try and achieve a really slow loss over the next year. For a long time, I didn't have any idea what my 'goal' weight should be. Now, I'm pretty happy where I am. If I can easily get a little lower AND comfortably maintain that, I'll be just slightly happier. So, in short, I'm happy with my 'if'! I should really have said something more like 'if I can comfortably do it, and find that that is a good number for me', but FS does limit how long your bio can be, and I probably just ran out of space. However I do need to change my bio, as I've now moved on from there! Thanks for the encouragement and positive vibes anyway! 

Bio changed! 

Error Alert !!!! Line 13:- delet "if I can" insert "when I do it" .....You just can't argue with this as you have said in line 4 that you never fail so why the IF as an "IF" suggests you may not do it !!!! and you know and I know and all FS members know YOU WILL DO IT. 

Thank you for the change much better that terrible word is no longer there. I am also taking Statins and I also have flat feet but above all I have a big backside and I am disabled so unable to exercise so I need to have a plan to keep the weight down and a plan I have which does not include the word “IF” that was replaced with the word “WHEN”. United we stand, divided we fall, I am with you all the way go…go…go we will win !!!!!  

some great comments here Heidi. I get where you are coming from and what you are doing. 😘 

@I will win: ha ha, I'm happy with that 'if' too 😁 I'm wondering whether you read it properly? Anyway, you do it your way, and I'll do it my way. And I wish you all the very best 😀 

Mrs M, I know you do 😀 And thanks! 😘 

Ooops !! 

Heidi - I think you should change your profile pic to the new one you put in our challenge. You look slimmer in the new one 🙂. Why are you still on statins? Do you really need them now you've lost all the weight? Have you had your bloods checked recently? 

It's a loss!!! 

Doobs, yes, still on statins, but a reduced dose. I've been meaning to change my picture, and finally got round to it. Thanks for the nice compliment! I am about 8lbs less than I was in the old picture 😀 

John - maybe... 😁 

IWW - no problem 😀 

I just saw your new picture - my goodness, lady, look at you! So happy for you. :-)
