Talking 30 Lbs gone

So when I started my journey (and it is a journey and not a short trip, by any means), I was unsure how successful I would be. I am sure a bunch of us are used to self-doubt in that way. But today, I had my weigh in, and saw another loss. I have posted on two forums I participate in, and honestly was a bit disappointed with the number... until about 2 mins ago... I just realized by looking at my ticker...I just hit the 30 Lbs gone mark! :O Wow! I looked at it a couple times, refreshed the page, just to be sure I was seeing correctly! It's still a long ways from where my journey will be a total success, but that's proof that I am on the right track and just had to share!!!!! Totally stoked since realizing and no longer disappointed with the number on the scale, lol YAY!

Bellamack - I am so close I can taste it! I guess that's why the initial disappointment in what the scale was telling me. I have been so focussed on Onederland, that I almost totally missed this huge accomplishment! Or at least, it's huge for me

That's incredibly awesome! A lot of hard work, and 30 pounds is nothing to sneeze at! Good job!
