in the 140's!! I have this habit of checking my weight every other day but I decided to not check it for 2 weeks, I hadn't really been working out either so I was terrified thinking even if I do check it, it'll be a gain and I'll be like 157 or something since I haven't worked out...however, I checked it yesterday and it read 147.2 lbs

I just stood there thinking I was hallucinating.

I have never, EVER been in the 140's before. I've never been below the 150's and I just almost cried right there. I can't believe it, I'm so close to my goal (130) I can feel it! I've never been this close before. I've always stressed and then gained some back but this is it you guys, I feel like this is the year I'll finally reach my goal I've been doing this since 2005! and I have always felt so pathetic, seeing other people drop 100 lbs in one year thinking I couldn't even lose my goal of 80 in 7 years but now it's just like, I don't care how long it took or takes as long as I make it there. I just had to tell you guys. I'm still in a state of shock. The 140's!

Yay! What a wonderful feeling! Congratulations.

Congrats! That's great!

YAY!!! I'm so happy for you! You've lost a ton of weight and that's so inspirational for so many of us here. I love the attitude of "I don't care how long it takes"- I need to be better about adopting that attitude myself! Congrats

That must be such an amazing feeling!!! Congrats on the major accomplishment

Congrats!! Your progress is amazing

Awesome! Congratulations! I also admire that you did not give up, even if it took longer than you wanted. It takes a lot of strength to push through and keep going and now you are reaping the rewards! Keep it up!

woot!! Congrats!

The 140's are like a distant DREAM to me! I'm the same height as you and aiming for 130's as well. Ahh, you are so close lady! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Girl i'm with ya. I've been doing this since 2007. I've lost 55 pounds. It's seriously depressing to see other people do that in 6 months, and know that it takes me so long...it's a fight for every pound.

That being said, way to go on your new achievement!!

I just want to say that to those of you who it may take longer, I have the UTMOST respect and find you all to be way more strong then a person like me who was able to lose 60lbs in 7 months. Seriously. You have stuck with it and you are a champion for everyone out there that has a struggle to overcome. CHAMPIONS!

Way to go! That's fantastic!

awesome!!
