Well as of this morning I can officially say I weigh less than the amount of weight I've lost.......so I'm actually literally half the person I used to be!!!

This is soooooo exciting, I have been stuck in a 6 month long "plateau" in which I seemed to lose and gain the same 5-10 lbs over and over and over again and but hadn't been able to lose a single lb or fraction of a lb below what I weighed in mid june and finally this last month I started kicking my own butt again and got myself back on track with eating and working out and got that darn scale moving!!

I am now finally in the 140's again! Haven't been this low since I was 21 (12 long years ago) and now I am only 10.6 lbs away from my goal weight. It really is like a dream come true. I can't believe that all this happened so "quickly"......I mean it's been almost 2 years so it's taken awhile but really now when I think back the time has flown by.

I am so excited about this.....I feel like this is the best thing to happen to me in a long time......and you know what I did it! I mean no one else could make me eat right or exercize and in general just give me my life/health back.....so on this day I like to say MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME!!!

    Congratulations Ive been suffering the same symptoms as you lost quite a bit then been bouncing the 10lbs back and forth, trying to kick my but. I too honestly believe I am better shape then I was when I got out of the US Army 22 years ago. Congratulations again maybe you can be my inspiration

    What an amazing accomplishment. What would you say is the thing that got you to close to the goal?

    There is no one thing that got me close to my goal by itself, it was a mix of eating right, exercizing, dedication to logging in and never missing a day (I'm at almost 600 days on MFP) and I couldn't have done it without all the support of my hubby, friends, family and ya'll on MFP!!
