Well, today I stepped on the scale and I was officially 50 lbs down. A year ago, I never would have thought I'd be able to get this far. Honestly, I always hoped, but don't think I ever actually believed that I could step on a scale and see 170 lbs, never mind 146 lbs.
Thank you everyone for all your tips and advice!
Just a few more to go and I'm there

Congratulations!! That's awesome!

Congrats!!

Where did you get those pictures?!

Awesome!!

great work!

Thank you everyone for your support!

Molldoll, I got them from My Virtual Model (www.mvm.com/cs/). When I was bigger, I created a model of what I looked like and what I wanted to look like and then I made an image out of them in Photoshop. It's really good motivation when you try on clothes and see what you could look like if you were a few pounds lighter
I heard that they are creating a virtual weight loss simulator version which would be nice. It's kind of a pain to keep going back and reducing the weight on my virtual model manually

Well done!!!
I'm in the same boat as you were. Well I started off at 195 lbs. I'm now at 177 and my goal is the same as yours - around 145..It feels so good though, to see the scale readings go down every time you step on that scale.
Congrats. You've definitely motivated me more! Post some pics when you can

Congrats!!

Congratulations! You must feel so great. And only 6 lbs to your goal weight, keep up the good work!

Thank you everyone!

Congratulations! Very well done!
