Half Way to Long Term Goal

Got on the scale this morning and I have lost 15 pounds since I started MFP on 9/17:tongue:
My original short term goal was to lose 20 pounds by December 29th when I leave for my Ireland vacation, but now I think I will change it to 25. Long term goal is to lose a total of 30 pounds - I am half way there. This site has really helped me to stay on track.

Was so excited when I weighed this morning that I went on a three hour hike in the mountains with family. I only logged 100 minutes and now I have an extra 700 calories for today. It's already 4:30 in the afternoon and I still have over 1,000 calories. No way I will eat that, but I think I will treat myself to a glass of wine while I take a nice long hot bath:drinker:

Thanks to everyone for all the encouragement
Laura
