This morning I weighed in at 249.6 lb. My first big goal was to reach 250 and I had hoped to do it by my birthday which is still a week away. I started at 311 on December 30, 2013, which is what I weighed the day before I went into the hospital (my hospital story is in my profile). At the time, I decided that I would go slow and steady and really retrain myself to eat right all of the time. I thought, "wouldn't it be great to get to 250 by my birthday?" which was 61 lb in a little over 8 months. It was a little ambitious but also doable. I normally don't like setting a specific time to reach a goal so it wasn't a real goal until a few weeks ago when I realized I was really close. Now I am there! Hooray! I am almost halfway to my final goal and can't wait to see my butterfly get over to the other side of my nose on my ticker.

    Congratulations, that's so awesome!!!

    I'm aiming for that goal too,(17 more pounds). By the time I'm there, you'll probably be down in the 230's.
    How thrilling is that? I love that people here are setting goals and reaching them daily. It's such wonderful
    motivation!
