Heather, do you realize I am close to losing a whole of what you used to be?

Wow. Stunning, isn't it!!!! It's hard to wrap your head around sometimes.

There are definitely people out there who weigh what I lost. In fact, I think I've lost more than my mother weighs!!!!!

Uhh I've lost more than my husband weights :) Crazy...

I will also possibly be looking into a full body lift once I get to my ultimate goal although I am a bit scared of surgery. I figure I can finance it if nothing else, it is basically the cost of a slightly expensive car. I can do that... somehow :)

I did not start with a goal in mind other than to be thinner. I remember stepping onto the scale and seeing it for the first time reaching under the 200 lb. mark and crying. I got stayed for many years at 150 lbs. until I went back to college full time, and I feel the stress of going to school and having very uneven eating habbits in tandem with MASSIVE amounts of coffee to stay awake had something to do with my additional weight loss. I made it down to 113, but have gained some back and currently weight about 118. What can I say, I love cocktails!

Congratulations on your fantastic weight loss..

I had originally wanted to get down to weighing 150 lbs. I ended up choosing 145 lbs. and reaching that goal. I've been maintaining now for 1 1/2 yrs. at 147-152 and am still trying to get back to my 145 goal weight. In high school I weighed 135 lbs. and I've been a little disappointed that I can't seem to reach that weight again, but I am proud of what I have accomplished.
