Hello MFP family. I just wanted to share that I have OFFICIALLY HIT 50 LBS TODAY!! I never thought I would see this day come. This is the kicker...I have 4 lbs to go until I hit my goal weight of 140. Once I hit 140, I am going to shoot for mid-30's. I have gone from a size 18W to a size 8/10 and a size 1X to a small/med. I am not posting pics yet until after I reach goal then I will post before/after pics for everyone. This is very doable; I am living proof. Everyone around me NEVER thought I would be able to lose weight. Well, here I am 50 lbs lighter, and it feels amazing. Stay strong everyone - keep pushing towards your dreams because they are within reach - trust me. Stay dedicated and determined - anything is possible. :smile:

    Awesome....I am just starting out and I want to lose 40 pounds....why does it seem so hard? What did you do, I need to know! Your story encourages me.

    I didn't do anything special, just followed when MFP told me. I eat about 1300 calories/day and I eat back atleast half of my exercise calories. I don't have a gym membership, so I do workout dvd/run. I have done 30-day shred, Turbojam, Ripped in 30, and C25K (which I love and is my favorite). I have never been a runner, but I am now. I find it to be quite the stress reliever. Anything is possible. Just remember, it is a process and takes time. It has taken me 10 months to lose 50 lbs. It doesn't happen overnight, about 1-2 lb/week sometimes 3. This is the healthy way of losing weight which will help keep it off. Good luck on your journey!!! :)
