Broke out of my 1.5 year plateau: Down 81lbs

This morning I've reached a major milestone. I'm 19 and I want to be either a nutrition or a PE teacher so I've been trying to look the part. Early this week I posted that I've been plateaued for over a year. I'd always get SOOOO close to getting out of the 190s (hell I even hit 190 once) and I'd gain it back. Today I broke past that. After a year and a half, I hit 189. I'm likely to gain some this upcoming week due to water retention but this is just the beginning for me. I was overzealous and weighed myself last night. I'll admit I went in expecting the worst. I was expecting to be at 195 which is usually how it goes. I sucked in my breath, bit my lip and looked down and saw 190. I was overjoyed! However, I went into the mindset of "well, people weigh less in the morning" and went to bed. Hopped on the scale this morning and BAM 189. I'm so, so proud. From here on out, it will (hopefully) be even lower. Just taking it day by day. Below is a collage documenting parts of my journey. Also just a fun fact, the jeans I'm wearing in the second and third picture are the same O: They aren't so "skinny" anymore but I definitely am getting there!

Amazing progress!! A few years back, I also had a long plateau in the 190s and it was indeed frustrating! That's so great that you stuck with it, and your hard work definitely paid off! Congratulations, and good luck with your goal of becoming a PE teacher!0
