    You look GREAT! I know what you mean about the last bit to lose I'm right there with you and I feel great and want to cut loose and party with friends and during the party if the booze isn't enough calories I always add cheese and crackers to the mix. So my weight loss is around 1 pound perr month.

    If you feel you want to lose it.. ten that's all that should matter:-) Keep it up... I just joined MFP & am at your SW right now... so this is inspiring that I can get back to looking the way I used to. ( in short skirts etc)

    Celebrate every lb you loose & love yourself even more. Do not pay heed to the naysayers.. & remember to forgive your sister.. she probably does not mean to be non supportive but this is where she is now. You do not need to think any less of her:-) Just enjoy the freedom you have gained. And Best wishes for your upcoming wedding:-)

    BTW.. I too would love to know how you got here:-)

    Good for you! You look amazing! It's now just how you look though, it's how you feel! I have the same problem...people telling me that I've lost enough & I don't need to lose anymore. Well, I went to the doctor for my yearly wellness visit & we talked about it. She said I'm perfectly healthy as I am & that by losing the last 15, I'll still be healthy. I knew this to be true, but the doctor's reassurance made me feel even better. Keep up the good work! I've hit the same slump with my last few pounds! Hoping to get past it soon! You're going to be a beautiful bride! Thanks for sharing!!!

    Wow! You look amazing. Great job! It is so exciting to see people actually do it just by eating healthy and making the right lifestyle changes. I have about the same to loose as you. My start & finish weight are about the same as yours. My boyfriend thinks I will be to skinny if I get down to my goal weight of 145. I think he is crazy. But it is like you said people are used to the before you & the new you is different to them. I meet my boyfriend when I was 184 lbs so he just can't imagine me any smaller. I used to be 145 once upon a time I know I can get there again. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Hey fellow YAYW bride!!

    Natalie you look fantastic but your post was exactly what I needed to see right now. I've got 16 lb left to go and eveyone is telling me I don't need to lose any more.... I know I do though! It definitely is harder now we've got that close, I've been trying to mix up my food a bit and increase my exercise...

    But anyway , well done on your loss so far! And heres to both of us losing that last last pesky bit!!

    Congratulations! This just goes to show that it IS possible. I've been trying to lose weight for so long and always end up discouraging myself, but you've done. Keep up the good work you look beautiful thank you for being such a great inspiration :)

    congratulations on your losses thus far! You are looking wonderful! I know how it feels to "stall out" and unfortunately i don't have any great piece of wisdom to share with you to get you thru it other than to not lose your patience with yourself or the process. Maybe you can change your goals to just a 0.5 lb/week loss for a while to adjust to the new you and to regain energy for another push at your final goal :)

    We're all here, cheering you along!! :drinker:
