    I have officially lost the equivalent of an 80 lb bag of quickcrete concrete mix! And having done some concrete work this summer at my home, I know just how heavy that is, which is amazing when I think that I was carrying that much extra weight, all day long, every day of the week......

    As of September 27, 2017, I am no longer Morbidly Obese!
    (I haven't been able to say that for over 15 years!)

    @bmeadows380 ,

    Thanks!...it's taken a long time (9 full months) to get there and I still have 70 more lbs to go but I think I'll get there after making it this far!

    Finally! Today was my 365th day of logging, and today was also my weekly weigh in. And I finally this morning weighed in at 274 lbs - which is 101 lbs lost. I made my mental goal of losing 100 lbs in 1 year!

    Now on for the next 100..... lol

    That's amazing!! Congratulations!!!! So proud of you, I hope you're proud of yourself too!!

    After 1 year and 22 days of actively losing weight, I'm just 1 pound away from dropping below 300 for the first time since probably 2005/2006? I AM DETERMINED TO DO IT THIS WEEK!
    The last month has been SO much yo-yo-ing around the same 5 pounds (just north of the 100 pound weight loss mark), so I'm excited to see it finally inching its way down again!

    Oh I know that feeling! I stalled out right above 275 from November all the way through January. But you haven't give up yet, and maintaining around 5 lbs through the Christmas season is a victory in and of itself!

    Second weigh in down 28 so far. A LOT farther to go but still moving the right way for a change.
