Here's to DuBois! My hometown still is in my mind and heart.

Welcome! You're going to love this place. I've learned so much from MFP and this community.

Very interesting reading everyone's goals..... I'm 5'6". Started at 154lbs. First goal was 144lbs. Next goal was 140lbs and I'm essentially there. I'm thrilled and feel as good as I've felt in YEARS. But now, I think I'm going to readjust my goal to 135lb and work on strengthening my body. I think 135 would be as far as…

I'm 5'6". I started at 154lbs and my first goal was 144lbs--which is where I'm at right now. But I feel like 2lb more will be the ideal weight for me. I feel so much better--it's easier to exercise, my clothes fit better than they have in years. So grateful to have such a great tool like MFP.

Fantastic.....just wonderful. You look terrific!
