First Big Goal? Nailed it!

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.
