in Success Stories
So...just now, like within the last 90 seconds it hit me. Now believe me this is no GREAT HUGE 100 POUNDS LOST type of success, but to me it means something... I just realized that I am closer to 200 than I am to 300 now. The reason I began my journey to lose weight was because I realized I was closer to 300 than I was to 200 and that was SCARY. I've always struggled with my weight. When I was young (3rd grade) I realized I was BIGGER than all the other girls. I was young and I didn't realize that I wasn't really fat, I was just taller and bigger boned than all the other people. So yeah...from pretty much then on I've had weight issues... I went from 200 (16 yr. old)- 152 (17 yr. old) then at 18/19 I was 240. 170-190 from like 19-23 then I just started packing on the pounds. I got up to 244 and then I got pregnant- gained all the way to 279 when I was about to deliver! I just couldn't do it anymore... But now I'm 238.8 and I'm no longer 250 ish!!! I'm 235 ISH! HAHAHA Hopefully water is on my side and I NEVER see the 240s again. It is a small success, but its a good feeling. Hope everyone has a great evening and GREAT day tomorrow! =) Thanks for reading...

    Thats all I want. I will be below 250 in a couple of months hopefully, and I can not wait. It means I am getting closer to 200 than my highest weight which was 290! And it is scarey. You don't get how you got there until you change your life and your eating and realize you had been poisoning yourself with fast food and calorie bombs!

    Took the words right out of my mouth....a HUGE success!!! Sometimes those numbers on a scale represent a lot for us. For me, its that darn elusive 199.9 that I need to see. I really thought I'd make it by today, but alas, no. But that's okay, we just keep on keeping on.

    Because we've come this far, we know we can make it all the way to where we want to be :happy:
