I have moved from the obese category to only being overweight! I feel so much better. I still have a ways to go but my life is pretty good right now. I thank God for his continued help every day and I also thank all of you here at MFP for your support!

    That is so wonderful! I know how great that feels! I started out near where you did at the very beginning of my journey. I was 213lbs when I started, but 220 at my highest.

    I am SO happy for you! Great job! :flowerforyou:

    Awesome!

    Now, that you've hit your goal weight, my thinking is that you can now up your calories slightly to an amount that keeps you at that weight? That's probably a new challenge in and of itself. The most important one of all.

    Obviously, by now you realize that this was a lifestyle change as opposed to a diet. Many don't seem to get that. They seem to think that they can now go enjoy whatever they want and then seem to end up back here later on with a set-back. Well, that's what it's here for right?

    Personally I don't miss the habits that got me to my heaviest weight. And I have to commend you for reaching your goals. That's great and amazing. Can't wait to be in your shoes. But it's going to take time. I'm not worried about that time because with new habits like these my body has no choice but to go down down down over time.
