My Last Blog… and Swimsuit Pic… YIKES!!!

This site has been wonderful to me, and I could never repay the debt I feel I owe to so many peeps here.  I’ve reached my goal… 130 pounds, and I have been able to stay at goal weight now for 5 strong months.  It took me 3 long years of searching and trying different avenues and reading and asking questions and crying out for help and praying and laughing at my falls and ups and downs, but I’m FINALLY here, where I need to be, which is at a place in my heart, where I am at peace… at that balance of mental, physical, and spiritual health, that I so longed for most of my life.  I’m here peeps.  At 50 years old, I’ve finally found my nitch.  If I can accomplish this, so can YOU!  Thanks to Dr. Marc for opening my eyes to his OMGdiet.  It is truly the healthiest and easiest eating plan I have ever come across.  For me, it’s not dieting at all… it’s now my way of life.  If you haven’t checked it out, I urge you to give it a go.  It’s absolutely the best $$$ I’ve ever spent.

 Okay, so months and months ago, I blogged and promised a pic of me in a red swimsuit at my goal weight and on my first trip to see the ocean… in Destin, Florida.  It was a BLAST of a vacation!!!!  I hate pics of myself, so I can’t beleeeeeeeeve I’m doing this, but a promise is a promise. 

 Drumroll please…. LOL

Remember buddies… you have to start on the inside of you… your heart and soul… before you can ever even begin to make changes to the outside of you.

Never ever EVERRRRRRR give up.

Love and HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGS everyBUDDY!

    CONGRATS!!!!!!! What a wonderful accomplishment and inspiration! You look absolutely wonderful in your swimsuit and should be so proud of those pics. And what a great beach to go to with those white sandy beach and light blue waters for your first trip to the ocean. Wish I was there now!

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

    Shanna you are such an inspiration!
    THANK YOU!!!!!

    I don’t think you know how much you have affected people here.

    When I think about Buddy Slim, the early Buddy Slim when I first started out here when I needed it most I think of you and all the support you gave and all your words of wisdom and the kindness you have shown.

    You are one of my heroes

    I am so impressed by your accomplishments.

    3 yrs. is what it took?
    3 yrs. really isn’t that long is it?
    3 yrs. to put yourself in a really good, healthy place for the rest of your life.
    How many people can say that at 50?
    How many people at 50 can look that great in a bathing suit? A red bathing suit nonetheless.
    YOU ROCK!!!!!!
    And you continue to inspire me

    Thank you for being you!
    Big big big HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGS
