Goal Accomplished x 2

pvaness17

Today, I officially weighed in while fully hydrated and reached my original goal of 199.5 pounds, a loss of 52 pounds in six months! My wife of 14 years has never known me at this weight, in fact, the last time I weighed less than 200 pounds was October, 1987 in my freshman year of college - 24 years ago!!!!!

In addition, I ran a half marathon today in 1:51, six months after being winded walking a flight of stairs. MY FITNESS PAL is a great tool. Of course it takes commitment, discipline and determination to achieve your own goals, but set them high and stay the course. You cannot underestimate the power of the mind, or the feeling of accomplishment when people you saw last year don't recognize you! My previous goal is now a milestone in a continued journey toward a better life. Thank you MY FITNESS PAL! :happy:
