GOAL!!!!

Wow. After 6 months I have, this morning, reached my goal weight of 10st (140lbs) down from 12st 7lb (175lbs). All thanks to MFP. I think I must be a bit of a freak as I have followed the instructions exactly, including eating my exercise calories and have lost weight on target nearly the whole time with only small plateaus of a week or so scattered throughout. I still have pizza or chinese once a week, I still have chips from the chip shop on saturdays, I still eat chocolate and cake, the only difference is now I know how much I can eat and still keep my macros in proportion and my calorie goal in the right range. I love the whole concept of using exercise to be able to eat more, it encouraged me to get on the exercise bike if I really wanted that biscuit. As a result I am now in Week 8 Day 2 of the C25K program and well on my way to completeing my first 5k race. This from someone who used to feel like she was coughing up blood if she ran more than 20 yards before. Even at high school I couldn't run far and now at the age of 46 I feel fitter than I have ever been.
It is a good day
