Major weight loss, still needing to lose!

Hi everyone! This is my first post on this website. I read some of your stories, and they were very inspirational! I thought I would share mine to contribute to the motivation!

Four years ago, I was a junior in college going to school full time, working full time and doing volunteer work. I was always so busy, and I used that as an excuse not to work out, and to eat poorly. I let myself get to 323 pounds (my largest recorded weight). I knew I was getting bigger, and my clothes size was going up, but I ignored it for the most part because I surrounded myself with people who also made poor decisions when it came to eating and fitness.

Since then, I have lost roughly 140 pounds. I started seeing various trainers to motivate me, a nutritionist to keep my eating in check, and working out with friends to hold me accountable. I am now in the best shape of my life...I compete in triathlons, play competitive volleyball, and am currently training for my first century bike ride and marathon. I will admit I still struggle with food and keeping motivated to work out, especially now when I am teetering so close to my goal weight and I am not seeing the drastic changes like I was in the beginning. I have not yet reached my original goal weight, but that's why I am here!

Stay focused and you will achieve your goal weight. I know when I was within a couple of pounds of my goal was the hardest for me, and now I'm 2.5 pounds past my goal.
