Holy moly - I did it!

Really didn't think I would ever get here's especially because I was trying to maintain for a while, not lose :o. Must be that the new thyroid medication actually jump-started my metabolism a bit. I truly wasn't even trying to lose: ironic huh?

Now the hard part starts: staying where I am. I just hope to stay within plus or minus five lbs for the rest of my life. If I could do that, I would die happy:dizzy:

Wonderful! :hug: I've always been rooting for ya. :)

OMG that is fabulous! What an amazing accomplishment! :carrot:

Fabulous job, KittyKatFan !

Congratulations! That is a amazing amount of weight loss.

Congratulations! How wonderful!

Awesome job! Here's to happy maintenance!

Congratulations! What an awesome accomplishment.

Thanks everyone; the support received from this forum was a major contributing factor to my success.

I will get some new pics taken soon, but in the mean time you can go to the mini-goal photo album. I think my post was "150+ down..." Or something like that. I'm about 10-15 lbs lower than when the bottom two pics were taken.

I know I must look different, but when you see yourself everyday, you don't notice the difference as much. But a neighbor stopped me when I was walking today and said I look like a totally different person.

Could I lose another 10-15 lbs? I suppose. But the last time I got down to this weight, about 8 years ago, I think part of the reason for the regain was trying to lose those elusive last 10 lbs. I felt like a failure because I couldn't do it. So I am keeping 164 as my final goal and feel happy with that decision. I am my own worst critic and I think I look good at this weight :). If I lost more, I think I might actually look sickly.

I want to see how well I do with maintenance. Maintenance sounds like almost as scary a feat as, I don't know, losing 165+ pounds? :cool:

Congratulations to you and thank you for sharing your success here with us!

Congratulations on your awesome accomplishment! I know what you mean about maintenance. Most of us have lost and gained weight several times...when I make up my mind I can lose the weight but keeping it off has been an issue. Stay on this forum and get support from others trying to maintain. You got this!

Congratulations! I bet you look and feel like a million bucks!

Woooooooot!!! That's amazing, you've done an incredible job.

Btw, I looked at your pictures, and it was like seeing someone age backwards. You look beautiful and healthy.

wow congratulations!
