Talking Under 300 for the First Time
It's a bit late to be celebrating this goal, but I feel like I lost some motivation this week (for some reason) and just want to remind myself: among other victories, about two weeks ago, I was FINALLY under 300lbs. for the first time since high school. Woo! When I saw the scale that morning I left the kitchen a total mess because I was shaking so badly! That was almost 80lbs. in 5 and 1/2 months.

Now to get my butt in gear again!

that's awesome! you are doing great! I hope to reach that milestone this week. I had wanted to see 299 on the scale when I weighed in this morning but I saw 300.1 (it was 299.8 yesterday) but my next weigh-in is thursday and I'm hoping for 298.

That is an amazing accomplishment! We all get tired of constantly being aware and controlling cravings etc. but you have come a long way, don't give up now. Look back, dig deep and use your accomplishment as motivation! You've done a great job!
