So after hitting a plateau and getting VERY frustrated about a month ago, I decided to throw away my scale and just keep eating right and exercising and have faith that I was making progress. I made peace with myself and my body and accepted that if this is as small as I get, I can live with that, even if it is short of my goal. Well, today, I stepped on the scale for the first time and was shocked to discover I am at my goal of 140! That is down from 244 11.5 months ago! My second victory was when I decided to celebrate, not by overeating, but by going for a run! Never going back.

This is me in October of 2010. 244 pounds, size 24

and this is me today, 140 pounds, size 8

    So amazing! You should be proud of all your hard work! I have thought about throwing my scale out. Inches are leaving me but the pounds don't always. Thanks for the inspiration!

    OH MY GOODNESS!!! I just have to say that your face is amazing! The eyes, eyebrows and mouth are gorgeous!
    Congratulations for your awesome effort. I need some of that 'throwing away the scales' biz because I'm addicted.
