I am so excited I might burst! It is a small triumph, but today I hopped on the scale and I have finally broken free of the 130s! I am barely there--129, but it feels so good. This means I have lost a total of 8 pounds since I faced reality after 9 months of stress eating and got on the scale this past May.
Here is what I did: worked out a TON over the summer to the point where I won a half marathon and a triathlon; quit high fructose corn syrup; began looking at portion control; quit eating out so much; got away from the candy at work that I was scarfing in order to control anxiety.

I am very happy! My goal is to be back to the low 120s by my 30th b-day...coming up in just a few months.

Congratulations!

That is so awesome... I can't wait til I can run a half marathon!

Keep up the great work!

Congrats Kwinkle! You've been working really hard!

What is your half marathon time? I ran one last week -- I'm pretty slow -- but the female winner was done in 1:18! That completely blows my mind.

Congrats!!!
I'm close to breaking the 130 mark and I hope to feel your elation in the near future!

That's incredible! Congratulations! One day I'll be posting a thread similar to this one...I hope.

Aahh!! Congratulations!! I am jealous! I hope I'll be able to be there, too...maybe by Thanksgiving? >_< I'll have to work hard!
