One third of the way there!

VioletNightshade

I set out on this journey with 130 pounds to lose, and today, I officially hit the 1/3 mark! 43 pounds gone (yes, my marker reads less, but I count since my heaviest weight, which was 260, not 234, my starting weight here). Quickly approaching one half of the way there and going strong.

As I write this, I'm wearing the dress I bought months ago as motivation to keep pushing forward. At the time, the large fit a little snug, so I bought the medium. It's a bit surreal to have it on and not feel like I'm restricted in my range of movement at all, but I couldn't be happier.

There have been many attempts at losing weight over the years, but this one is the only one that even seems like it could be sustainable, as I'm doing it the healthy way and not falling into the punishing myself trap. It's certainly working.

For me, that already equals success. I've not completely slain my monster yet, but it's certainly wounded and on its way out =^_^=

You can go into the edit part of your weigh in and enter in the actual day you started and the real starting weight. Then your ticker will show your total weight loss.

Good job on your success so far!!!!!

You go girl! Congrats on reaching your mini-goal. I am in the same boat, starting out at wanting to lose 135 too. I am getting closer but still have a long way to go....one pound at a time.....:flowerforyou:

Congratulations! Enjoy your dress- by the sound of it you'll be too small to wear it in a few months.
