Guys, guys -- I'm so happy!

Some backstory: this is my first time even trying to diet. I was always too scared, too sure I'd fail to even try. I was chubby as a kid and just spent my life getting fatter and fatter until last year when I joined MFP.

This morning I weighed in at 158.5 lbs. This number is important to me because it's the first time I've really seen below 160 lbs, and 160 is important to me because that's the number I remember starting high school at, it's the lowest adult weight I remember having.

And now I'm lower!! :smiley:

    Aww, you guys are so sweet! <3

    My biggest tip is just to try to make the right choices each and every single meal. Sometimes you'll go off diet and you log those and move on, but you have to try every time you put food to your mouth. It's hard :/

    Great job! Do you have an exercise plan or do you just count calories?
