1 yr and 9 days later, I weigh the same amount as I've lost. So bizarre lol.
I think I'm getting close to being done losing. I have never been able to say that in my life, even as a toddler lol. It's strangely scary to feel "done". Makes me doubt myself.

I am quite literally 1/2 the person that I used to be
Hit first goal of 155 at 9.5 months. Setting new goal of 145 which is less then I've ever weighed in my adult life. Woo hoo!
Hit 2nd goal of 145 at 12 months. Room for 1 more goal, I want to be less then half the person I used to be which means 139

Re: I am quite literally 1/2 the person that I used to be
How unbelievable is that... I, too, am 1/2 the person I once was. At my heighest, I weighed 285 lbs. and now I'm 140! It's just a surreal feeling, and sometimes I have to pinch myself (flab pinches well
to make sure it's all real. I really do wish you continued success on this awesome journey! You've done a great job, and don't worry. Just sit back, work the program, and enjoy the "fruits of your labor".

Re: I am quite literally 1/2 the person that I used to be
That is just plain AMAZING!! I remember reading some of your posts when I first joined this forum. It's so encouraging to see that even though it didn't always go as fast as one hopes, that by sticking to the plan and never giving up, we CAN reach our goals!! Thanks for the inspiration!!
(How about some before and after pics?!)
