Almost there

3lbs away from being normal weight based on the doctor's requirements. This is a huuuuge accomplishment for me as I never intend to be overweight again once I get within the normal weight catagory. It has been a long time coming and I have learned a ton along the way. Thanks MFP!! Merry Christmas!!! The 3lbs to go is motivating me to be really good throughout the holidays so that I can hopefully be normal weight or very close to it by the new year. I am also the healthiest I have ever been. I have a really good feeling about 2013, not to mention I will no longer have to have the goal of being normal weight ever again. Who would have thought at 41 years old, I could have completely changed the entire course of health in my life? My kids are also very aware of health and what they need to be eating to maintain it. Yay!! Keep on keeping on everyone :)

    doesn't it feel great?! I feel similarly at age 43. I am wondering why I didn't do this years ago...

    I think we can only do what we are ready for. It was baby steps for me at first and now big leaps and bounds cause I can finally see the finish line. Thank you everyone. This time I did it all on my own after having 3 kids. It is a great way to end the year.
