I almost didn't post this thread because I've been blathering about it all over the boards, but then I decided to do it anyway. I'm pretty happy.

Today I made a major mini-goal. I've lost 50 lbs, my 2nd 10%, and I'm halfway to my healthy weight goal (what I've called my intermediate goal) of 169. As an added bonus, I broke into the two-teens at the same time.

I already bought my self-reward (I posted about the pack and light jacket a week or so ago; bought them early b/c they were on sale).

I'm so happy, and proud of myself, and ready to keep going!

Calluna, We started the same size and are the same height, may I ask what size jeans are you wearing? I am pear shape and in 18Ws but can get into 16W. What size do you think 169 will be? I havn't been under 200 since FOREVER.

BTW the 50# mark is HUGE! Congrates

Congrats!! You are doing awesome!

Fantastic! Congrats

What a great milestone You have every right to be super proud!

Oh wow!! That's fantastic!! 50 pounds to me is something pretty fantastic. How many people in the world can say they've lost 50 #'s. That's really a significant amount of weight and I'm jealous of your 50# chickie.

WOOT WOOT - that is awesome! Congrats and keep it going!

Congrats!! That's a HUGE mini-goal!

Go girl go!

Thank you, ladies!!! It really does feel good - the achievement, having people to tell, and the affirmation. What a positive place this is.

mmiller, I was a size 12 at 170 lbs about 7 years ago (sigh). Right now I'm in an 18 or 18W, and I can button/zip my 16W pants. I would NOT wear the 16s out in public, though.

50 lbs is not a minigoal babes! That is one MAJOR goal!!!!
AWESOME JOB!!!!!

Fifty pounds is ENORMOUS! I think if you can lose fifty you can lose any amount!! Keep up the good work!

Congratulations!!!!

Holy milestones Batman! CongratulAtions!
