Hey everyone!

I finally hit my 40 lb marker! I still want to lose at least another 40, but it feels so good to see that number on my ticker!

Here is a before and after, I hope it is sized right :)

    to me success is the achievement of your goal. so if you still have 40 more to go i wouldn't call it success. very admirable...but not a success story... yet :)

    You are absolutely a success story, and I don't see that you have another 40 pounds to lose. Congratulations.

    I think you've done an outstanding job so far. And I only say "so far" because you stated yourself that you still have a goal you're trying to achieve.

    But...I think...that you will have next-level success when the answer to your question that matters most is yours.
