well 4.5 actually.
see ya in two months. cause that is how long it will take, lol
Seriously. I said it a couple of times today to customers and could hardly believe it myself, after all I have done I have less than 5 pounds to go. What an amazing journey this has been, and just the start of another one. I figure it will be end of DEC when I reach my goal, it was DEC 29th 2008 when I started this journey, so its only fitting that it happens around that time ( ALTHOUGH, I would welcome it to happen PRIOR to that ) :bigsmile:
MFP has been my tool every day for the whole journey, tracking my foods and working out have been the key to my success. If you are sitting there, with your jaw open, wondering how the heck I did this, I can say , THAT IS HOW. Loggin my foods, staying around 1300 calories a day, and working out 5 times a week. That is how I did it. no magic drug, didnt drink anything, or stick myself with hormones, I counted calories and worked out.

I have many emotions looking at my before picture. it makes me very sad that that really was me for so long, I was so unhappy. Any person who weighs over 300 pounds and says they are happy is lying. you are not happy, or you wouldnt weight over 300 pounds. that is my thought anyway.

    This doesn't happen too often to me but I am SPEECHLESS! You LOOK AMAZING and should be on cloud 9 with what you've accomplished!
    I have 65 lbs left to go and am doing it the same way as you; I did start out on my own but am taking all the help I can get now and MFP is just one tool in my arsenal:)

    JOB WELL DONE!

    That is GREAT!! You must be SO proud of yourself :flowerforyou:

    I found the secret to weight loss as well: exercise and logging ALL my food & drinks. I weight out EVERYTHING, even if it says 1 tsp or 10g, I weigh it to make sure it's 10g!

    Congrats & I know you'll hit your goal in no time at all :flowerforyou:

    you really do look awesome!!! you should be very proud of yourself (and i know that you are), what you have done takes a lot of hard work and dedication, and it just goes to show that surgeries and hormones and all of that other stuff out there these days is unneccessary!!! WTG!!! and CONGRTAS!!
