Finally posting because I'm so happy today :)

Hi, my name is Tami and I've been on this journey since April of this year. I never really write on these boards but today is so special I have to. Today I got to change all three numbers on my weight! I'm officially 198 down from 274 in April. I haven't seen a 1 since middle school. :) I know I still have some to go but I'm just excited to never see a 2 again. Being 5'9 I'm so close to my goal (which could change once I get there) that I can taste victory. Aggghhhhh ONEDERLAND!

    That is sooo great!! Congratulations on making it to onederland. 76 pounds is an amazing loss and you should be so proud of yourself!!! You have made it so far and should be able to get the rest of the way to your goal with ease. You are a Rockstar!!!
