Tomorrow will be my official 2 year anniversary here. Feb 28th 2014 I weighed in at 268lbs at 5'4, size 22. I've posted my success story before, once when I hit Onderland at 69lbs down, and another when I hit that big 100lbs lost club. I feel I owe it to myself to mark these 2 new milestones on my journey with another post. 2 years of logging everyday, and 130lbs lost. That's something to be proud of and I am!
Without going into my entire life's story I just want to share that I was morbidly obese for 20+ years, I'm 33 now. So this is all brand new to me, being at a healthy weight. Calories in vs calories out, food scale, Fitbit, its amazing. Anyway, today I weighed in at 138lbs, and I wear a size 4. I'm in the home stretch, working on those last 8-10lbs now to my goal weight. I feel like a new person, I found confidence in myself that I never had before. I feel amazing, I have more energy, I actually care about myself now. All good things and I look forward to maintenance! I will continue to log here and monitor my intake, get in my daily exercise. I will also continue to read the success stories here every single morning with my coffee! Its just so inspiring to see everyone taking control of their health
I made this at 100lbs down, and its cool to see how the weight comes off so even though its outdated now by 30lbs, I still wanted to include it.

You're doing everything the right way, I wish you continued progress and then successful maintenance. With what you've accomplished so far, I've no doubt you'll be one of the ones who keep it off. Good job!0 -

Thank you! Yes that is my goal, learning how to maintain and keep the weight off! I am 100% confident in my ability to do that with all that I have learned over the past two years. I have had bad days, and made mistakes but I never let them derail me and I think that is a huge key part of being successful
