I started this weight loss journey in April and today was my 185th log in day. I have been traveling and feeling kind of blah, but I got on the scale this morning and I lost the 1.5lbs I needed to reach 50lbs lost. The significance of 50 lbs is that I now weigh 155 and that is what I weighed 25 years ago, when I married my husband! I have 10lbs to go and I know that it will probably be challenging, but I am up to the challenge!!

I don't know how to post pictures, but my profile is open and if you want to see my progress...take a look!!

MFP rocks!!

    You are taking charge and taking names!! You look amazing, you always did though!

    That cruise ship will not know what hit it when you show up! :)

    Can't wait to see you when the other 10/15 comes off, you are going to blow away in the Florida breeze.

    Who am I kidding, I just can't wait to see you again!

    Congrats my friend!!

    Way To Go, Shawn! You are a true inspiration!! Funny, when I first lost the weight, it was to get back to the 155 I was when I got married too!!!

    You guys are the BEST!! As I read all your comments, I have to admit, I got a little teary eyed! I would have never imagined that I would meet such a great group of people that are doing the same battle as me!! Thanks for all the inspiration!!
