To lose 1.6 pounds - by then I'll be 30 pounds down in total.

I have two: 1. I knew I needed new jeans, but really wasn't sure if I would get into the size I was hoping for. Well, I did, and they're an 8!! It makes a real difference in the way I look and can actually see my progress by having clothes that fit. 2. Someone took a picture of me and not only did I not hate it, I actually…

My clothes have gotten so baggy that yesterday I realized they don't even look good anymore. Going to take a "negative" and turn it into a positive - a bit of shopping in smaller sizes :)

Getting into the next 'decade.' I'm 1.7 pounds away and feel like it's taking forever! My weight loss has slowed down as expected, but grrr I want it now. I won't be at goal but mentally I'm itching for it.

I bought a skirt in a size 8 yesterday! I haven't worn that size in years.

Getting into the 140s! I've been plateaued at 155 for two weeks now. Hoping for a whoosh and then onward and downward

I love this, congratulations!!

I was feeling like I wasn't seeing any difference in the mirror. Took measurements and progress pics and yep, even from 12 pounds ago, the difference is clear. I'm nearly 20 pounds down now, and wish I had taken pictures the day I started, but I'm still glad I took them at all when I was 8 pounds down. It's so encouraging!

I had a friend visiting for a few days and stayed within my calorie goals every day except one - when I went over by just 100 calories. This included multiple meals out at restaurants and ordering in. I planned ahead a bit and was able to fully enjoy time with a friend without setting myself back at all.

Yesterday I put on shorts I couldn’t wear last summer. They not only fit, they’re starting to get a little roomy! And I was going out for my birthday - it was a nice added present :)

When I realized I just felt bad all the time. I was stiff, sore, tired, and most importantly, I felt terrible about myself. I also finally admitted to myself that those feelings around my weight were stopping me from dating. Sure I was focusing on my career, but also...I didn't want anyone looking at me. That's no way to…

Getting into the 150s. At first it seemed far away, but after a nice loss this week, just 8 more pounds and I'll be there. It's not my ultimate goal, but it's attainable and will put me at a weight that - when I was last there - I liked some photos I was in. That hasn't been the case for a long time, so that would be a…

I'm looking forward to not dreading pictures with friends/family. I just had a friend in town who wanted to take pictures of us together and I hated every one of them. I'm looking forward to that feeling being behind me.

I don't have my success story (yet!), but this thread has been really helpful. I've felt so awful about myself and the weight I've gained over the past couple of years, but looking through success stories and seeing people who've lost 150lbs+ is so amazing. But so is seeing people who've lost 20, 30 or 40 lbs. It also puts…
