So Monday, the day I check in, I started to reflect on the fact that I have lost 45lbs. It finally hit me that I have almost lost 50 lbs with only 30 (ish) (not sure what my goal is I guess) to go. It feels like just yesterday I started (I started the last day of Feb this year) as almost a joke to myself. I found this app on my driod and I remember thinking "I wonder if this works." I can have an addictive personality - in a good way- and so when I found this I became addicted. I started losing weight and feeling better. I have since then started running and biking. I never thought I would have this much energy or feel this good. I always thought I had good self esteem but this is like overdrive. I am always smiling now. I am past my half way point and never in a million years did I think that I could be skinny/ healthy. It just amazes me how much I got from this website/the people on her. I can't wait to see what the next few months holds. :)

    Congrats! 50 pounds is a big deal! Sometimes I wonder to myself, I should have started this earlier and I could be so much farther now, but it takes commitment and work to get to where you are now. So have fun losing the rest of your weight and be happy with your accomplishments.

    I had the same realization this morning I like you started in February and it really doesn't seem that long ago. You are doing so well

    I started March 7th, a week after you and weve lost about the same :-) Im much farther from my goal though; I still have near 100 to go. I too also found the app on my droid with no intention on really dieting prior to that day, but as with me as well, i have an addictive personality (in a good way) that made me obsess about it.
