Finally hit the century mark!

I finally made it to 100 pounds lost in about 18 months! I admit I'm finding myself frustrated with friends who say "I'm jealous, you're so lucky, what's your secret?" Luck? Secret? It's been hard work and lifestyle changes, exercising on a busted knee at 5:00 am when it was probably the last thing I wanted to do and going through the holidays planning my meals carefully and not eating any and everything. Weight loss is a hard thing, and I have a ton of respect and empathy for all who struggle because it's hard to gain or feel stuck. But to chalk it up to luck or some hidden ability? No way! I still have more to lose, but the finish line for me is actually visible for once. And while I took the time yesterday to celebrate with an awesome opportunity to be front row at a performance with one of my favorite musicians and then got to meet her and get autographs, I know the honoring is important but the final goal is still what I need to keep focused on. Wishing you all well on your journey!

Awesome loss & yes everyone expects you to have lost using some magic potion, not hard work, exercise, sacrifice and planning.
You'll get to goal soon & find out maintaining is just as challenging...but an even greater feeling.
