Hi all!!! Some of you know that I have been avoiding the scale since I joined this forum in September. My highest known weight is 213, which was just a few short months ago. I told myself this morning, "Hey, Jess, you've been eating well and getting in some exercise lately. You should weigh yourself; weight is a good and easy indicator to make sure you are progressing." I thought I would be at around 207, which I didn't want to see, but hey, it's just a number, and seeing 205 a week from now would be great!

Low and behold: 199.5!!! I've lost 13.5 lbs, and I've met two mini goals: I am no longer obese (past 202 for my height), and I am in the ONEhundreds! Yay!!!!

I have a long way to go, but it's nice to know that my calorie counting really counts! (Hee hee!)

I hope everyone else is having a successful day! I cannot wait to see a 180-something number; I'm sure I'm only 4-8 short weeks away! Also, I couldn't be doing this without the support of 3FC! Love this site - thanks, all!

Congrats, Very Awesome!!

Well done, keep it up and you'll be at your third mini goal in no time!!

Thanks, you guys! I'm so excited!!!!

Well done, congrats! I wish I could stay away from the scale for a while. It might help with my negative attitude from not seeing dramatic enough changes. But, I'm so attached to jumping on that thing every morning.

That is awesome. The best goals are the ones we aren't expecting. Congratulations and keep up the good work.

WOW!! that must've been such an AMAZING feeling!! Congratulations!!
