In the beginning my ticker made me see how far I had to go. Now I am almost half way to my (1st) goal it shows me how far I have come. It amazes me really! I have totally changed my way of thinking and living. I wear a size XL (16/18) now I never dreamed I would get to that size so quickly. I have never been smaller than a 10/12 and most of my high school days I was a 16/18. Now I like looking at my tickker ans seeing my progress instead of seeing how far the goal is.
