S/C/G: 298/see ticker/165

Height: 5ft 7

Talking Literally half the woman !

Just wanted to shout from the top of the world that today I weigh 149lbs
15 months ago I weighed 298lbs- I have lost 50% of my bodyweight-
I lost through a low carb diet and sheer grit and determination and the friendship and advice given here at 3FC.
Thank you !

Wow! 15 months, too - that's amazing! I'm worried my weight loss will stall as I get closer to goal but you kept that 10lb/mo average. I am so inspired by those of you that have such quick progress. It keeps me focused on being serious about this.

Congratulations on acheiving your goal!! Happy Dance!
