Today I moved over my 50th rock! Goodbye 50 lbs, goodbye high blood pressure, and goodbye negative voice in my head telling me I'd never make it. I feel fantastic and am thrilled to be able to announce this on the message board that has been such a huge source of inspiration for me the past few months since I joined MFP!

This is my first major goal. I went from 225 to 175 and am 5'7'' in case anyone is curious. My goal weight is 150, and I look forward to returning to this board when (not IF) I make it and posting before & after pics.

I am a very visual person, so having these jars sitting on the counter and staring me in the face every day has been a huge motivator!

    Well, I am just starting on the journey, down to 179 from 195. I'll meet you at 150 in a few months.

    Congrats, 50 lbs is a huge milestone. You should try spending a day wearing a 15lb weighted vest. Even that small amount of weight will remind you of were you came from. Everytime I do that; I swear I don't know how I existed 50lbs heavier....

    I LOVE this idea!!!! Can I steal it? Please, pretty please???? lol

    It's so awesome. Also because if I started gaining weight, having to go through putting some of the rocks back would kill me and inspire me to get back on track.

    You're doing amazing! Lots to be proud of there. What you did, isn't easy but commitment has gotten you far.
