About a week away from 1st goal

I am 35 years old, 6'1" ex military and have let myself go over the past few years. I used to be around 83kg in my army days but when I left in 2009 that ballooned. On the 14th April 2017 I was the heaviest I have ever been at 113.5kg. I thought it's time for a change and get myself in gear and sort my life out.
I have had years of not wanting to show my body and not going on holiday due to my weight and anxiety about it.
So, me and the gf arranged a holiday for this year in August and i am adamant to lose as much weight as possible so that I at least get some confidence back.
I have weighed myself today and am 100.5kg. This is a big thing for me as I haven't seen double figures for a long time. It will only be a matter of days to see 99!
Yes I am 15-20kg away from my goal weight but now I feel that the end is in sight.
I have been doing juicing (as per fat, sick and nearly dead & super juice me) 3 x per day and a healthy meal in the evening.
Training wise I have been following the Freeletics Gym programme and I must say it is the best training I have ever done. I have done insanity, boot camps, crossfit etc etc and the structure of this and the intensity is amazing. I can really feel the results in my performance.
Anyway, here is to the rest of the year and my continued weight loss journey.
I will start to do some pictures to give me an extra boost and post them when I am at goal.

Fantastic job, It will be so exciting for you to see that scale drop below 100, A good way to always stay motivated is have small goals along the way of your larger goal. Good luck with getting to your goal!1
