Labor Day Challenge Success!!

blessedtobefit

I took on the challenge started by cassangelidy to lose 30 pounds by Labor Day. I had just joined MFP and although I started the challenge late I was still excited and couldn't wait to see what I could do. My beginning weight was 174 and today I am 159!!! :bigsmile: I am thrilled to be that much closer to my ultimate goal weight of 130. To think I bounced around in the 170's for over a year and was getting so frustrated at not seeing the scales move. This site is GREAT and has helped me see that you can't just eat right and excerise in your head. You have to journal every bite that goes into your mouth and make it as important each day as the time you go to the gym.

Thanks cassangelidy and MFP! I have big celebrations coming up...my 20th wedding anniversary (Sept. 30) and my 40th birthday (Oct. 23). Regardless of what my weight # is, I am happier and healthier than I have ever been and the smile on my face reaches from ear to ear!!! :bigsmile:
