Thumbs up I finally did it... made my goal

I know I am not always an active participant on this site but I do chime in when I can.

The reason I am writing today is to share my good new!!!! I FINALLY DID IT!! I made it to my goal... 52 lbs later. It took me 1 year 1 mth and 19 days.... but I know I am a better person for it!!!

I hope that I inspire someone else on this website to let you know that it does not matter how long it takes you to do it... YOU CAN DO IT!!! it took you awhile to put the weight on and it will take you awhile to take it off.

I am very proud of myself and wanted to share my great news...

Now the next challenge keeping it off :-) :-) :-)

Thank you all for your inspiration along the way when I needed it most!

thanks Leann, Britt and midwife... it is a WONDERFUL feeling to finally hit that goal number!!!! What a feeling... isn't that a song??!!! anway... I will not bit the dust Britt!! I will be on here to keep going ... I think i want a cushion of like 10lbs so I can have some fun once in awhile.

I think the biggest thing is I will see my friend in September and she has not seen me since May 05.. she is going to flip out!!!

Thanks again ladies it truly is a glorious day!!!! You all keep up the great work!!!

Congrats. Its nice to see when the ticker says "you've met your goal" or in your case "0 lb to go".

Goodluck with stablization & maintenance.

Shari - congrats on reaching goal. And you are right, the weight didn't come on over night; so be it if it takes a while to get off. In reality, I think a pound a week is more the norm for some of us vs the 2 pounds a week LAWL says we can do. Good luck with maintenance..you can do it and I know there are great sites on 3FC for maintenance folks.
As far as your picture - I can't believe the one posted is not current. You look great in that picture so I can't image what you look like less 52 lbs! I'm not sure how others change their picture avatar, but if you go to "User CP", then "Edit Avatar", then "Use Custom Avatar" you should be able to upload a current picture from your computer. I think there are other ways, but this is how I do it.
