Almost to my goal!

I'm just two pounds shy of my goal weight! I'm so excited to get there and then to maintain. I truly feel that MFP has helped me change my life in amazing ways.
Just wanted to encourage those of you that are feeling discouraged that this process DOES work if you are consistent with it. It's taken me almost 30 weeks to lose 25 pounds. Some people would say that is too long to try for something like this. But, to me, doing it in a healthy way that allowed me to learn, to really change my life, and to see slow and steady progress has been the best way to do it. I'm not afraid any more that I'll gain all the weight back. I KNOW that I can maintain this lifestyle.
So, where are you? Are you close? Are you feeling discouraged and far away?
