You're doing fantastic!1

Brenda, after looking at your chart again and letting it sink in, I'm feeling super encouraged. Sometimes I think we can discourage ourselves by looking at where we are and where we want to be. What I see from your chart is slow and steady weightloss, no major losses. I see a few times where you lost nothing or even gained, and you kept going. Look at you now, almost to goal! I think I'm going to make myself one of these charts because it really and honestly keeps things in perspective and shows that small losses add up to a lot over weeks and months. You are a rockstar and very inspirational!1

@brendagaudette, I'm so happy for you! Congratulations on the loss and being only five pounds from your goal. Please tell me that once you reach it, that you'll still be a part of this group. Seeing your progress has been so very helpful to myself and others and you're so very supportive of others. I would miss you! I know that is very selfish, but that happens when people are positive and likable! lol
BTW, How do you get your table so nice and neatly lined up? When I tried to follow the same pattern for my chart and hit enter, it was a hot mess.1 -
5lbs from goal! You can see it can't you? You will get there! Awesome work0

Thanks, I'm still going to stick around for sure and I'm glad to know that I'm giving people hope
It took me a few tries to get it neat, I hard to do a lot of editing

Thanks everyone!!! Today I went to get some new clothes and I had no idea what size to try on so I brought in size 8 jeans and they were all too big so had to go get 6's and was sooo happy when they fit and I even got a pair of shorts size 4, OMG I haven't seen those sizes in over 30 years!!! 5
-
@brendagaudette Hooray, I'm glad you'll be sticking around! What do you think your reaction will be when you hit 130/129 on the scale? And, WOOHOO on your new clothing sizes! Great way to treat yourself after your accomplishments!
I'm so happy you'll be sticking around, not just as a spirit-lifter and encourager, but to observe someone in the beginning of their maintenance phase. :-)
Ha, I guess I'll just have to keep working on the editing.
