I always feel funny when I think about posting topics in here. I always think "Wow Cristie, is that really a success? You have so much further to go."

When I started this journey, I would joke that I needed to lose a short, pudgy person - 180 pounds.

BUT, when I got on the scale this morning, I was super excited. I OFFICIALLY (as in multiple days of getting around the same number- steadily going down fractions of a pound) have LESS THAN 100 pounds to lose!

As of this morning, I have lost 83 pounds! YAHOOOOO!!!!!!!

    I am so glad that this "success stories" thread exists! I'm not sure I could do it every day if I didn't have people like you to prove that if (s)he did it, I CAN TOO!!

    Congrats on your success and good luck on the remainder of the journey!
