Food addict drops 70 lbs.
 

I can't believe I finally made it to goal! :carrot: I hope I can keep it off but I don't for one second believe that things will get any easier. However, I can honestly tell you that even with all of my imperfections (from years of expanding my skin again and agin through yo-yoing), I'm thrilled now with my body. I know there are some things I don't feel comfortable wearing, but now I know I can find things that flatter me well.

I'm going to try to continue losing some more because my goal jeans are still too snug but they do fit now!

I don't believe I could have gotten here without this wonderful site. There are so many thoughtful, kind people here who know what it takes and have a ton of information.

I will count calories for the rest of my life, but I may eventually try to give myself a day off here and there to see if I can handle it. I will weigh myself every day because that will help me stay aware...since it's so easy to ignore the fact that weight is coming back on. When life stressors occur, I will do my best not to use food to numb my feelings.

I'm so excited!!!!!! I really can't believe I made it! I wish you all great success in reaching your own goals! :hug:

Holler! You go, girl! Congrats, and enjoy. I'll be looking forward to your updates as you enter maintenance!

Congratulations! You are an inspiration to us all! Way to go!

Woo Hoo!!! Congrats!!! :D

Congrats! What an accomplishment!

(So are we going to see the pictures? :) )

Woot! Congratulations. I hope someday to be able to post the same type of success. :D

Wow, that's awesome! Congrats! :)

Thanks everyone! I"d love to show you a photo, but I don't know how! I'm horrible at technology and it's a miracle that I can even have a ticker here with an avatar! ;) I'm the least tech minded person you've ever met online. ;) I'll ask my hubby to help me tonight. Problem is that I don't know if I can find a before shot since I avoided the camera like the plague! ;)

CONGRATULATIONS! :carrot: :broc: :cb:

Amazing work :D

I am so happy for you! I too aggree with you- this site seems to have "what it takes" for that extra motivation! :carrot:

WooHoo! Awesome job - congrats!

AWESOME :carrot: How long did it take you?

congrats!

Congratulations!! That is sooo Great you met your goal! :carrot:

I like that you have a plan for the future. I once lost a lot of weight and then once I hit my goal I didn't have a plan so what happened?! Of course I gained ALL of it back. :o Sad but true. So this go round I have a plan too. It is really hard to accept that we have to count calories every day of our lives but to stay healthy it is a must. And I agree totally with regularly scheduled weigh-ins. When i started gaining weight :cbg: I avoided the scale, in fact I threw it away. D'oh!

I am so happy for you and I wish you the best of luck keeping life balanced. =)

Congratulations!!!!!!!
