I almost can't believe I did it! I wanted to get down to the magic number by year end but things were moving very slowly. Then there was a drop. Seems to be how I lose - nothing for days then a week of steady decreases. Anyway I did it!

This is a very significant milestone for me. It's my pre-quitting weight (cigarettes) and my weight before a particularly unpleasant relationship. I fell like I'm back to the me I remember.

Just had to share. I couldn't have done it without the support and encouragement I get here. Now on to the next goal!

Congrats Cyndi!!! I made it to just overweight a few weeks ago as well. It feels great! I probably lose weight in a similar pattern to you - nothing for about 10 days, then drop about a lb. a day for 7 or 8 days....weird, but it is good to know your patterns!

Where in VT are you? I am from FL, but my mother is from Irasburg/Orleans and my entire family still lives there.

Congratulations Cyndi and gator, you are both doing great!

Congratulations to you too Gator!

Sounds exactly like my weight loss pattern. I'm glad someone else does that. I've been losing a pound a day for several days again and I always worry that I'm losing too fast. Then I remember the weeks without any movement!

I'm way down in the southeastern corner, a long way from Orleans I love VT but right about now I'd take a little of your weather

You are doing great!!! Also congrats on being over halfway to your goal!
I'm the same too. No lose for a few weeks and then all of a sudden, bang! I lose some. It's hard, but if we just stay on plan, we will see the results we are trying so hard for!

Congrats. It's a great way to start 2008.

WOW CINDI, how long did this take you?
YOU GO GIRL!
Congrats on being overweight!
I wanna be overweight too! =)

WOW!!! Congrats! Doesn't it feel great to be the you you remember and feel comfortable in!

To achieve a goal, there can be no greater feeling I imagine other than the milestones of family. I salute you, seems you make us all proud and uplifted. It is always nice to know that the thoughts and feelings given on a site like this are taken away and used to increase the love and decrease the pounds. -X

Congradulations! You're well on your way to a healthy weight! good job!
