    Yes, you read that right-- This Success Story is about a "failure"

    I hit my original goal of losing 130 lbs.

    Actually I hit my original goal, then I hit my new goal of losing 135 lbs.

    Actually I hit my original goal, then I hit my new goal, then I hit my New new goal of losing 140 lbs.

    And then I stalled. I regained some; I lost some; I have bounced all around this weight-- I have maintained within a few lbs.

    I tried to make a NEW New new goal of losing 50% of my original body weight (152.5 lbs total), and failed to hit it.

    In failing to hit this random goal I had set for myself, I realized I have already accomplished so much! I started out at 305 lbs at 5'10". I was 25 years old, and I was heading for an early grave. Today I am 167 lbs at 5'10" and 28 years old.

    I am at a healthy weight. I have (basically) maintained this healthy weight for 7 months now.

    I'd say that's a success.
