I am over halfway - we can do it!

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to try and encourage anyone who has started this journey and is finding it tough to keep going.

I started MFP at the end of September 2011 with a total of 47.7lbs to lose. I saw it as a never ending journey to begin with and it was tough changing my lifestyle completely. It was true for me that the first few weeks saw a good loss but then it started to level off and now I have to really work hard to shift a loss every week. Sometimes I don't lose, which is frustrating and disheartening but every week is a new week and besides a few hiccups (Christmas/my Birthday), I have been consistently losing.

Today I have reached the over halfway mark and I have lost a total of 27lbs. I feel great and can't believe how much my lifestyle has changed for the better.

I still have a way to go, so this isn't a success story so much as a 'we can do it!' story. I know what it's like to want to give up and to feel like nothing is happening. I just wanted to offer some encouragement!

Lets do this!
