2 years and 100lbs down!

I don't really post much on the community boards, but I am so proud of myself I am putting this up everywhere! I started this weight loss journey a little bit more than 2 years ago (October 2011 to be exact) and, as of this past Saturday (11/2) I have officially lost 100+ pounds! I can honestly say I never thought I would get to this point. The number just seemed so daunting, that I would never even try. That is until my Dr. told me I was on the border of becoming diabetic and my blood pressure was too high. I was put on meds for the BP and preventative for cholesterol. That was enough for me to kick start the journey. 6 months in I was taken off the BP meds and about 5 months ago we finally stopped the cholesterol meds. I LIKE working out now and miss it when I can't (like when I'm sick). I no longer shop in the plus size stores and can pretty much go into any store I want to make a purchase. I'm working on another 20-30lbs and then I will be where the charts say I "should" be for my height. I think after that I will be done and will move to maintaining.

Congrats on your 100 lb loss! It took me from Jan 2011 until March of this year to lose 100 lbs. When I first started losing, I never dreamed I would make it this far, but thank the Good Lord I have. I have more to lose and with His help, I can do this.0
