Sooo close to goal! :)

So I am 3 pounds away from my goal and I was going to wait to post my success story until I was to my goal but I am a little discouraged with being soo close to my goal and the last 3 pounds seem to want to hang on so I could use some encouragement!! :blushing: So here is my story. I have always struggled with my weight a little since about age 14 or so which I remember my highest weight until I was 21 was 160 pounds. But my highest weight ever was 203 pounds 4 1/2 years ago when I went in to deliver my oldest daughter then I dropped down into the 180's then 9 months later got pregnant for my second daughter and shot back up to 203 exactly when I went in to deliver her as well! So for the last 2 1/2 years I stayed right around 180. This January i decided enough was enough when I stepped on the scale and it read 183 pounds and started to try to lose weight then in February I joined MFP and started Jillian Michael's 30 day shred and that is when my body really started changing! :happy: I have lost 40 pounds since January and well over 16 inches overall from my body! I was a size 13/14 and now wear a size 7! It is embarrassing to know how I let myself go but I am changing that now and I hope my story will help inspire others to do so too! I do have some before and after pics but I don't know how to post them so they are in my profile!
