  • I am 1 pound from my goal today. This isn't the first time. My first goal was to leave the obese category, then the overweight category, then to 150, 140, and finally I lowered it to 135. Each time I have gotten anywhere close to goal, I have set another goal and not allowed myself to attain it truly. I am not lowering it today. I am going to allow myself to HIT GOAL.

    I want to thank everyone here for your help these last six months. I was already 4 months into my journey when I found 3FC but have learned the most about weightloss through all of you ladies--and some ladies that aren't here any longer. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me. Thank you for supporting me and giving me props when I really needed it. Thank you for being a positive light day after day. I wish I could sit down and have a chat with this entire board. Please know you have made a difference for someone--ME!

    I am going to allow myself to hit goal but yes, I will lower it again after I hit goal, claim it and revel in it for a few days.
  • CONGRATS!! 135 seems to be a great target for your height.
  • That's amazing!
  • Oh, I am so excited for you!!!!
  • Excellent! I hope you post some final, really achieved goal after pictures!
  • Wow, congratulations! Such an amazing job! You are right smack in the normal BMI weight range. Are you going to post pics?
  • Good for you.Can I ask what your daily calorie intake and exercise regimine was.
  • Woo hoo!

    Hey there. I run 5-6 times a week--4 miles. I also doodle around with a Bollywood dance DVD and 30DS. My passion is the run but 30DS has been great for toning up. My calorie intake is 1500 and probably 90-95% is whole foods. I do not subtract out exercise or whatever--I stay under 1500. I do calorie cycle. Some days I am way down and other days I am way up. As long as my average is around 1500 in any 7 day increment, I don't worry too much about it.

    Yes, definitely going to post pics. I posted in December but was at 153 or something then. Yes, definitely going to do updated photos!
  • Great job! 135 is my goal as well, bet it feels great. Hope I can join you in the 130's as well.
  • Congratulations! Not only on being so close to goal but on having the strength of mind to recognize when you're really, really there, on allowing yourself to be successful!
  • Wow... congrats...
  • Congrats!!
  • Congrats!!! Way to go!!

    "Someday" will be come a reality for me too one day!
