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!

    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....
