Default Michelle makes it to goal !

It is 8 months to the day I started this WOE (low carb)and today I hit goal !
I started at 260 lbs and picked 180 because the last time I dieted ( LOW fat/Low cal) I just couldn't get below 180 no matter what I tried. So as not to be disappointed, I picked 180 because I believed that was achievable. Well today I stepped on my arch enemy and he couldn't even make it to 180. He stopped at 178. I stepped on it 10 times just to be sure. 178,178,178,178 each time.

Besides the scale victory I can't believe how good I feel. I don't ever see a doctor unless I get super sick. So I don't know any of my blood results before or after or anything like that, but I can tell you before I needed Pepcid AC and Tums every night and since started this WOE, nothing. I use to have allergies and sneezed alot, now nothing. I was at a chiropractor 3 times a week and a massage therapist once a week, now no more chiropractor and I go for a massage once a month as a treat. I am in the middle of redecorated the house. I'm painted and plastering. This was stuff I just couldn't do before. You don't realize how much you stopped doing when the weight is going on. How much you give up. I'm getting my life back and I owe it all to you on this site and all low carb sites. I send out a big THANK YOU to everyone for their support and for letting me lurk around and soak up valuable information that led me to my goal.

You should be very proud of your accomplishments

I'm a little higher than your starting weight and have a little lower to go -- you are great incentive for me -- thank you!!
