Hit and surpassed a mini goal today!!! I was hoping for 1/2 a pound to reach my mini goal of 35 pounds down, and lost 1.5!!! It hit me this morning that I am ONE, just ONE pound away from the very day that I found out that I was pregnant with my son... he's 9...WOW. It's overwhelming in a way that after all this time, I am that close!

I was just shy of 250 pounds during my senior year of high school...yuck. I started following the WW plan with my mom after high school and dropped to 163. I had all the intentions in the world to be a "good pregnant lady" and not gain a ton of weight... then on came 57 pounds. From 2003-2011 I bounced from 190-210 again and again. I started MFP and trying to lose weight seriously the last week of July 2011 at 200 even and so far have lost 36 pounds.

The NSVs, the friends who tell their stories of triumph and struggle, the wealth of information found in the forums and through posts of all my buddies, and yes... even the 'meanies' in the forums :laugh: have all contributed to my motivation and sucess thus far! I would have given up LONG ago and I know this to be true.

Thank you to each and every part of MFP for getting me through this! Keep being AWESOME all... cuz that is what you all are! AWESOME for attempting to reach for the stars of a HEALTHY LIFE!
