I arrived at my next mini goal of 259 lbs today!! This means I *finally* have less than 100 lbs to lose! This is a totally new way of thinking to my mind. It would get overwhelming at times knowing I still had over a 100 lbs to lose. Sometimes I'd wonder if I would ever get here. But now it feels in the realm of possibility that I can lose the rest.

What a wonderful accomplishment. Congratulations to you. Would love to hear any advice you have.

way to go! congratulations!

Yay!!!!

You have come so far! Congrats on the 259!

Congratulations. I would be happy to also hear any advise you have.

Bravo!! Keep it up!!Good luck with your continue efforts!!!

Thank you so much guys!!

CeeJay and ClassyKaren, the two biggest tips I could ever give are that the people of this forum are amazing when it comes to support, knowledge and sharing experiences. I honestly wonder if I might've given up already if I hadn't found them. Second, without My Fitness Pal I would not be this far along. Since I joined in October I've lost a total of 21 lbs using it so far. That's considerably more than I ever accomplished on my own in the same time period. It's really taught me to pay attention to the calories, sodium, etc totals of what I eat. I still eat whatever I like, but I try to make that favorite candy bar or meat with high sodium, etc fit into my daily counts so my weight loss doesn't suffer so much. I admit I had a couple days here and there of stress eating and derailed myself by about a week before I was back on track weight wise, but even so I still managed to lose that. I hope that even a small portion of this helps. <3
