With 15lbs left to my Goal after chipping away at losing weight since 2011, I'm finally thinking I'm a bit of a success!
I started in March 2011, after stepping on the scale and saying hello to 180lbs, More than my regular 140lbs, That was i used to.
Since 2011, it's been very slow going and half assed some weeks, all in other weeks, But I've managed to step on the scale at 143 this morning, bringing me just OH SO CLOSE!
So, I posted a picture of me in 2011 vs. today as my display.
I'm 5'6" and aiming for 130lbs :) Thanks for reading!

    Oh my goodness! I am reading your post and it is me! I have been on this journey since 2011 as well when I tipped the scale at 174 lbs. I am currently 138-139. My lowest was 134. Would like to lose a couple more lbs. but more importantly.....get toned.
    I, too, am 5'6" and aiming for 130 lbs. :o) Good luck!

    You're an inspiration to me! :) I've come to the conclusion that I'm just a super duper slow loser (but fast gainer!) and my road feels like it's creeping. So, it's nice to see someone else who creeped, too, but is having success! Thank you for sharing your story!

    They say that the weight you take the longest to get off will stay off, I don't know that's true, but with this slow rate I sure wish!
