Goal hit today! Newbies - go for it you can 100% do this!

I hit my personal goal today. I spent a year after I first joined MFP 'faffing about' and not really knuckling down, then in about August last year I decided enough was enough and really started tracking and paying attention. Finally, with all the help and support of my MFP friends, I am 56lbs down and feeling happier and healthier than I have in a few years. I really can't believe what I see on the scale today, it seemed a completely impossible goal just a few months ago. My only regret is that I didn't really focus and 'get it' sooner and I wasted too much time feeling unhappy about my weight and eating even more! I just wanted to say really good luck to any new members, literally if I can do it, you can too. I wish you all so much success, even if it feels like it's a long journey, just take it one day at a time and you will get there! I've had some rubbish days and some good days, but the one thing I did differently to previous attempts at weight loss, was not give up and for me it has paid off. Wishing you all the best, enjoy the process, I promise it will feel worth it! :-) x
