I did it! I reached my first major goal 
I started this journey over 2 years ago at 272 pounds. Im 5'9 and was 21 when I changed my lifestyle. I had initially lost 102 pounds leaving me at 170 but had to have surgery which left me unable to workout for 4 weeks. I got into bad habits again and ended up gaining around 40 pounds back.
But today I can officially say Ive lost 112 pounds and am at 160! This was my first initial goal, but now I want to get to 150 because my stomach definitely still needs some work.
But oh my gosh I am so happy. Especially because Ive been on vacation for 2 weeks and have managed to lose 6 pounds instead of gaining like I normally do.

Woop! Keep it up! 150lbs is one of my final goals too (dependant on fat percentage and muscle mass). I'm at 192lbs right now!0
