39 down 10 to go

I started my weight loss journey January 3, 2011 and have lost 39 pounds. I am 10 pounds away from my goal and it's become very hard to lose those final 10 pounds. I was diagnosed with PCO last year which was the main cause of my weight gain (per the doctor). I was told by the doctor that I would have a very hard time losing weight, but I didn't let it stop me. I am lucky enough to have an amazing fiancée who has been on the weight loss journey with me. I've never posted pictures before so hopefully they turn out! :bigsmile:

That is a great change; you look beautiful! 39 is alot and that is great. You should focus on the 39 maybe, and not the 10, that might help you stay motivated and keep you on the right track...just an idea...........good luck to you, fantastic job!!0

Hey, congratulations! I'm working on my last 10, too! I started my journey at 50 years old and lost 55 pounds steadily! I was going through menopause with missing periods, etc. My OB/GYN told me it was very impressive because most women gain 10 pounds just because of menopause, yet I lost 55! I got off track, put back on about 20 and have now lost a good 25 pounds with 10 left to reach 135 my goal. Having gone through menopause completely now I am 54, I am still losing! Not setting any records, but slow and steady will get you the results you are after. You just need to remember 2 things. You are determined so you are not "most people" and the second is that you must never give up or think you have it made because you reached your goal because those bad habits that got you fat in the first place are just waiting for a weak moment to pounce on you again!
You'll do it! Don't ever let anyone tell you "You can't." Maybe they can't, but you sure as heck can!0 -
Awesome you did a good job!! Your doctor said it's going to be hard but you did it!!! Congradulations!! Your looking good!!0
