    Very nice progress. I enjoy your reward system. I think it's good to treat yourself. I'm getting close to 100 pounds lost. My wife and I are going to Vegas in December to celebrate.

    Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement. As much as I credit the MFP tools for setting goals and tracking exercise and calories to make them work, I think it's all the encouragement and motivation from other members that have kept me going. Just look at the cross section of people who have responded to this thread. Fit and healthy, just starting the journey toward fitness or somewhere in the middle like me. We all seem to be here with a common goal of improving ourselves. Thanks again.

    Shazam. Solid work, commitment and results.

    I looked at your profile.

    Absolutely love that your future "reward" goal when you eventually hit 300#'s lost is to....


    "take my first ride in an airplane (THEN PARACHUTE DOWN)"


    I have no doubts that you will see that day before you know it.

    Thanks for sharing.

    I look for motivation daily on MFP. You are definitely a motivator to anybody struggling. Much needed this Thursday. Thank you.

    I just had to add my "congratulations" to all the others. I loved your list of rewards you gave yourself along the way. Each one was geared toward making you successful as you worked toward the next goal...very smart!

    I agree with another comment...please put up a picture of yourself smiling. You have a lot to smile about! :smile:

    There's absolutely nothing special about me. If I can do it, so can you!

    Lies, you have will power! (Most people do not have that, and do not know where to find it!) You are special. Great job!

    Wow, big congratulations on changing your life around. You've got a great attitude and a super plan. I have to disagree with one thing you said though: " There's absolutely nothing special about me"... you seem pretty special to me. :flowerforyou:

    Continued success! :drinker:

    ^^^ This!

    You are an inspiration! Thank you for sharing!
