    Congratulations! It's a good feeling.

    I reached my original goal date back in May and decided that there wasn't any point in stopping and set a new goal 10 lbs lower. As others have said, maintain at your goal weight if you want, push ahead if you feel inclined. Tremendous improvement already!

    I joined MFP on January 11, 2012. This is me about 2 weeks prior to joining. I am assuming my weight was around 200 lbs. My official starting weight on MFP was 197.

    And this is me today - 37 pounds lighter. I attribute my weight loss to my running, and of course, my eating. I did C25K, and also used our Total Gym here and there. I tried to make healthier choices when it came to food. I drank tons of water. I did not deprive myself of ANYTHING. If I wanted to eat it, I did, just in moderation.

    Stats (I'm 5'3"):

    January 2012:
    Weight: 197
    Waist: 40
    Hips: 46
    Clothing Size: 14/16 Bottoms, XL Shirts

    July 2012:
    Weight: 160
    Waist: 34.5
    Hips: 41
    Clothing Size: 8/10 Bottoms, M Shirts

    I have never been this small my entire adult life. I am loving the way that I look and feel, and I never want to go back to the girl I was before. I love that I have made myself a priority, and I enjoy getting out and being active as a part of my regular day. I ran my first 5k last weekend, and it feels so good to have accomplished BOTH of the goals that I set for myself.

    I'm not finished yet :) I think I want to see what 150 looks on me. I plan to start strength training in the coming weeks.

    For those of you just beginning your journey, or those of you who are ready to give up - DON'T!!! You CAN do it!!

    Way to go, excellent job!

    You accomplished a huge weightloss in a short amount of time.
    Great job.

    Also, thanks for the motivation to not give up.
    Having a tougher week and this helped a lot.

    Congratulations! You look AMAZING and you are truly an inspiration to many including myself! I am 5'2" and started out at 204lbs (eek!) and it's wonderful to see someone who was able to accomplish the same goals that I have for myself! I am down to 185 and I don't plan to stop. Thank you for reminding me that I can do it too!! :)
