This is a very personal milestone for me. This morning I weighed in at 169. I haven't weighed under 170 since I was 14 years old and did weight watchers with my mom (and gave up and gained it back, and then some).
This has been a very long journey for me. I went from 218 to 180 between 2007 and 2009, and rested there, give or take a few pounds, for the last few years. I was so happy to be at my smallest adult weight.

The beginning (this is when I first arrived in New Zealand to study abroad - lots and lots of hiking ensued)

A little over a year later, in Costa Rica (more hiking)

This June, when I decided enough was enough. Notice I'm eating, as usual.
I won't be posting real "after" pics until I meet my goal, but I just had to share this personal milestone. I've lost 11lbs since rejoining MFP.
