Hi everyone

I'm hoping this post will give some of us who have lots some weight the motivation to keep it off and others the motivation to keep going (even if we aren't loosing as fast as we would like)
I started here the beginning of Jan at 155 by Feb 6..I was 146
I hit my 'goal' in May of 130ish....I fluctuate now between 129-131.5
The Holidays really did a number on me though and I haven't been weighing in weekly...I continue to exc, but I've had trouble with my eating

Looking back helped me realize how far I've come and what hard work and eating well can do...and how I don't want to gain the weight back....twinkies really AREN'T worth it!
I usually splurge when I go to an event or b-day party or for a holiday but I've just had too many special occasions today
I'm taking my children to a b-day party this afternoon and I'm avoiding the pizza/cake....no matter what anyone else says (now I get the..your thin comments...EAT!....don't u ever eat..bl;ah blah)

    I was 150-155!

    Now I'm 143.6! And while that doesn't seem like a lot its the difference of me fitting in my jeans, being able to walk up the stairs without being out of breath, and having the self confidence to wear tighter shirts! :drinker:

    :) good topic..
    well unfortunately its the other way round for me.. last year i weighed... 154.5 pounds.. but this year i weigh.. 180 pounds :cry:

    i know... 30 pounds in one year is a lot.. it was a bad year... but i guess thinking of it another way .. it is kind of motivational..

    Last year I was 138ish. I began MFP the end of April 08, and now I'm 120.6 (only .6 pound from my long term goal :bigsmile: ) I wouldn't have been able to do it without MFP. I love MFP :smooched: :heart:

    Last February I weighed 175.5. I gained all the weight back that I had lost the year before. I went from 201 to 155. Then had 3 surgeries and got back up to 192. Right now I am at 179.6 (as of this morning!). I'm on my way back down now.

    Feb 2008~~~175.5
    Feb 2009~~~179.6

    Last year at this time I was around 320lbs. I started my weight loss journey a week before this past thanksgiving and I now weight 260lbs. MFP has been fantastic.
