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..

    Hey Everyone,
    This time last year almost to the day . . . I started February 17th last year. I weighed my highest at 200. I am now enjoying a very active lifestyle and off all 6 of my prescription medications. I weigh 148 today and getting ready to go to Hawaii for my 29th wedding anniversary with a entirely new LITTLE wardrobe !! I am very hopeful that my story will encourage you all to keep working the weight comes off slowly but in the long run that is a good thing. Keep tracking your calories and working out on a regular basis and next year you can be telling your success story !!
