This weekend, after 9 months of hard work I reached 199 pounds! On November 1, 2012 I started this journey at (gasp) 294 pounds. I still have a way to go but I feel the need to share this milestone.

    Wow-that is a huge accomplishment! Congratulations! Do you mind me asking you your age, height, calories and what you do do work out? I'm so frustrated to be training hard for almost 2 months and show a gain of 2 lbs the last few weigh ins...( didn't log gain into MFP... )

    I am 53 and 5 ft 2.5 in tall. I try to stay under 1540 calories a day and have logged in every day, keeping me accountable. I usually spend 40 minutes on the treadmill 6 days a week. I had been doing some weight and strength training until I aggravated a recent bout of tendinitis. I had been setting mini goals for myself since the ultimate goal was so huge. It was baby steps, one day at a time.

    Actually, I had a mini DQ Rolo Blizzard. Also, I bought a great new dress that shows off some of the curves that have been hiding. MFP has been my constant companion and motivator. I have logged in every day since I joined.
