Well ... hi there!

I've been lurking for a couple weeks, and thought this would be a good time to introduce myself.

I've actually lost 80 pounds and am kinda at the point there I say, "OK, now what?" My highest was 270, and I weighed 187 this morning.

This is actually a pretty big achievement for me because I have *never* been able to get below 190 as an adult. I was reading on some of the threads how you all call that the Bermuda Triangle of weight loss. Well, I finally busted through it by eating super, super clean and no sugars (regular or artificial).

I'm now at a lower weight than I was in 8th grade. My body is shrinking. It's amazing! And I'm so HAPPY all the time, and I actually talk to people instead of mumbling and running away. Also, I've come to the realization that I don't have to stay in my unhealthy, smothering marriage (with a ton of other issues I won't go into publicly here). I moved out last month and I'm pursuing a divorce.

I'm not really sure what my ultimate goal is. I have another 2 pounds to hit my WW 10% weight, but I joined WW after I had already lost 50 pounds but got stuck.

I do triathlons, and I'd like to lose more weight so I am able to do longer races. Also, I've had some injury issues, which were most likely weight related. I'd like to get to 175 by the end of this July, and then who knows what the future holds?

Soooooooooooo ... I'm really anxious to begin posting at this site that I have come to hold as a precious resource.

Hi Congrats on the weight loss. WW is a great program and I am sure you will have continued success with it. Don't worry about the end goal. I took the high for my weight and plan on staying here for a few months and then re-evaluating my situation if I want to loose some more I will and if I am happy with how I am doing I wont.

Best of Luck to you
