    Congrats on making your goals!!
    :flowerforyou:
  • Congrats......50 lbs is great accomplishment. You have done a great job and are in a good position to keep working on the next 25lbs. I am in a similar boat; I have a 50 lb interim goal with a larger long term goal.

    Keep up the good work.....You will be able to keep up with the cute kids.
  • Congratulations!! That's awesome! :drinker: :flowerforyou:

    Wow!! This is great news. I bet you feel great. I am sure it wasn't easy :noway: How long did it take you? Do you have any advice or anything special you learned along the way?

    I recently got out of the obese category now I am just overweight (looking forward to the day I am healthy):laugh:

    Um I statred losing weight when I got pregnant in April of 2008 (lost 18lbs while Pregnant) but I didn't start "trying" until December 22nd, 2008 - that's when my daughter was born. The first half was easy, it melted off - I've changed my eating habits 100% and the weight is coming off still, just slower. I really need to incorporate a regular exercise routine into my life, I think that's what will get me the final 25lbs - I just HATE exercise. :huh:

I want to be in the healthy range. (if I lied about my height I might get there quicker :laugh: NE wayz, CONGRATS! You did this, what's another 25

    **I just copied and pasted that from above lol thought I'd say that in case someone already read it once. haha :smile: It has taken me 9 almost 10 months - looks like it will take me about a year and a half total if I keep on track to lose my full 75. :bigsmile:
