Finally got below 170 this morning! 169.8 - reaching my MG of 170 by July 1st. :happy: I haven't seen the 160's since I got married 8 years ago! OK so I'm barely in the 160's, but I'll take it!

    Congratulations!!!!! I have lost 17 so far, but seems my body won't allow me to lose more. I think it's lack of motivation, because when I started Fitnesspal I was very dedicated 3 walks a day and a work out video. Now just a workout video every other day. So, I will say again Congratulations :) It takes a lot of motivation and you have come this far. I just hope I will get to my goal soon. I will have to try harder
  • Congratulations! Gotta love that .8! I love seeing mine on the scale. Keep up the good work.
  • WOW!!! thats so awesome,!!! I would definitely take it, you are in the 160's!!!
  • Congrats on your success I know that's a great feeling to meet your goal and even before July 1st!!! Keep up the great work!!

    Thanks for the support everyone! All the encouragement helps so much! Looks like you all are doing great.....keep it up this weekend. Those are the tough days for me......when I'm with my husband I eat more like a 220 lb guy and less like the 150 lb hot mama I want to be! :wink:

    It took me 4 months to lose the first 10. I lost the second 10 in 2 months when I started really tracking my calories and increased my workouts from 2-3x/week to 4-5x/week. I think tracking my food has made the biggest change, though! I am shooting for about 5 lbs per month from now on.
