Not sure if it counts as a "success", but I'm pleased

Hey everyone. I just need to talk to someone because I am so excited... I have lost 30 pounds as of today! I did start at a significant amount to lose, so I know that I will probably start slowing down here, but I am going to keep at it. I am mostly trying to eat a whole-food diet, with as minimal processing as possible, and I am doing mostly walking and hula hooping for fitness.

I'm just so proud of myself. :) Now I need to get under 200 pounds and I think I might go over the moon, hehehe.

    Just about, yeah. :) I did kind of pick a goal in an aribtary way. It's less than I "officially" need to get into the "not obese" bmi, but I wanted to feel like I could accomplish it. I am only 5'2", so according to the bmi scale I need to weigh less than I think 126 or something like that, which just seems so.... insane to me. But either way, I am proud of my progress.

    Well done! Wonderful!!! I also set small goals, I take it one step at a time, otherwise it just feels impossible.
    Keep up the good work!

    A win is a win, good work. Don't be afraid to slow down, nothing wrong with around 1lb a week on average.
