I just realized that it's been a couple days over a year since I started on MFP. I haven't continuously had the intense focus on losing the weight that I wanted to at the beginning. But, the trend has been steadily downward. One year ago I was at 197 (and probably 200 when I started exercising a few weeks earlier but hadn't yet found MFP). Before this morning, the last time on the scale, I was still hovering at the bottom of the 170s. I kept thinking to myself, "just a little more and I'll see that '7' replaced by a '6'!!" I started tracking everything again last week. (When I don't track, I eat healthy but, I guess, too much. Or, at least, too much to lose weight. When I do track, HEY, look at that! I'm eating less, my calories in are less than my calories out, and poof! there goes the weight!!) And, when I stepped on the scale this morning, what did I see?? There wasn't a single '7' on the readout!! ONE-SIXTY-NINE, BABY!! It wasn't until just now when I put that into MFP that I realized, "WHOA, waitasec!! I'm less than 20 pounds from my goal weight!!"

I'd really like to hit 150 by June. That's 17 weeks. Doable -- even with Passover stuck in the middle there. Here we go!!
