70 pounds lost

I have had a number of successes since I have started this journey. In the beginning I lost 8 to 10 pounds per month but since January I have been averaging about 2 pounds per month. While the weight loss slowed down my health continued to improve. I have met my first and second weight goal and am very comfortable where I am. With a BMI of 25.4 I would like to lose a few more pounds to be out of the overweight category.
There were a lot of hurdles to overcome June 2012 was the first full month I was able to walk without a cane I have gone a full year now without having to relay on that damned thing for mobility! Today I took a 7 mile hike in the mountains and could have easily doubled that distance if I had the time to keep going.

That is fantastic. To go from needing a cane to get around to being capable of miles and miles of hiking is a major accomplishment. And you look terrific! Congratulations!0

Fantastic! What I think is great is you focus on the health / well-being improvement more than looking better. Going from needing a cane to 7 mile hikes in the mountains - how great is that! Thanks for sharing, it's really inspirational.0
