those that are at goal

I lost hope of ever going under a size 40 in men's (I was a 46). Now I can barely wear a 34 and will have to start looking at 32's

When I started my size 12s were TIGHT (i.e. should have been in 14s). I would have been so happy to be in a size 10. A size 8 would be a dream. After 4 months of MFP, readjustment of diet and lifestyle, I was into a size 6! I COULD NOT believe it. I've been maintaining since then, though I got a little lazy at the holidays (6s were tight, 8s were comfortable). Back on track now that I'm training for a 10K. Maintaining has been harder for me than losing, but it is certainly worth it. Pics in my profile, if interested.

I've still got 7 kg (about 15 lbs) to go to reach a normal BMI. Yesterday I went to the shops at lunchtime searching for some clothes. I had no idea what size I was. All I knew was that I have given away most of the clothes in my closet because they were too big (including some which have been there for many years).

When I look in the mirror, I still see a lot more which needs to be done - having said that, I think my Doctor was recently surprised to hear me talk about losing the remaining weight, and then "toning up".

I still have difficulty believing in the change which has happened since the beginning of September last year - but my approach has been to keep rigidly to my MFP calorie limit as this has been having great results for me.

Give it another few months, and you will be answering posts such as these too.

I never thought it was impossible to drop the 2 sizes I wanted. I've done it several times before so I knew I could do it again.

I am, however, curious to see if this will be the last time, or if I'll start eventually slacking off on exercise and put it back on again. I sometimes think I'm destined to yo-yo until I'm old enough to retire so I'll have time to exercise without feeling like it's robbing me of my precious free time.
