Made my target!

One more success story. I started from 225 six months ago and weighed in at 167.5 this morning, half a pound under my target. I only got onto the site recently but there are some people on here who are very encouraging, so thanks for that, people. I might try to lose another seven pounds so I have something to play with in my exercise program but now begins the tough job of maintaining the weight...

Good for you, I hope you feel as fantastic as you look. I'm close to my goal and terrified of maintenance. Sounds strange, but it's true. Best of luck and CONGRATULATIONS!!!0

Very encouraging. 65 days ago I started at 303 and am now at 276 with a target of 185. Thanks for sharing your results. It helps me to know that what I want to do is not "impossible".0

Wow, thanks for all the messages! Like giving up smoking, I mainly posted to put a marker out in the world, to publicly say that I shouldn't be going back from here but all the messages are gratefully received, too, thanks!
NSVs (had to look that up) -
Collar bones - they emerged from the body like wraiths from the mist. Great to see them!
Thighs - The top of my thighs don't rub together any more when I walk
Stomach - I don't suffer from indigestion any more since changing my diet, so no more interrupted sleep every night
Jeans - went from a borderline 38 inch waist to a 32. They don't make them any smaller (in a widespread way, anyway!) for guys.
Jumpers - I can wear fitted sweaters and there is no bulge in the middle (and the man boobs have more or less gone).
Clothes in general - in fact, I had to get an entire new wardrobe - except for socks!
BMI - out of 'obese' into dead centre of 'normal'
The middle age thickness I was developing round my shoulders has gone
Seriously motivated to get into better shape especially given the episodes of minor angyna I experienced last year. So much fitter now, thanks to the gym regime.0 -
Great job- that's so awesome!0
