S/C/G: 246/147/150 WW Goal

Height: 5'5"
Default My first mini goal....
....and I'm almost speechless!

I've had little personal goals since I started this journey in August, but this is the first BIG mini-goal for me. I went for my WW weigh in this morning, and when I got on the scale it said 199. What? I looked twice to make sure!! ONEDERLAND, I'm here! I haven't been out of the 2's in 14 years, and here I am. It took a lot of willpower to not sit and cry (happy tears) through the meeting!

I couldn't have gotten this far without all of you....thank you so much!

That's just plain WONDERFUL...I know how surprising a scale can be..One time I weighed myself at the gym(where you have to move the slide over to see if you've gained or lost) & I actually stood on the scale & thought it was broke because the little bar wouldn't move up..it didn't dawn pn me that I lost more weight..so I moved it to a lighter setting & up it went...Anyway Congratulations...

Thanks, everyone! When I started all this it seemed almost surreal to even think of being out of the 200's, but I'm living proof that it can be done!

LCharvon....you can do it too!
