Good job, everyone. I think its especially motivating for the newbies to see the "big losers"

keep on losing. I know when I started, it all seemed so overwhelming and unattainable to lose over 100lbs. At the beginning of the journey, even though I was happy to be losing consistently, it was still so difficult to think about keeping up that rate of loss long-term, let alone reaching anywhere near goal.
As for me, I read but don't participate in the weigh-in threads because I don't know how much I weigh! I was a virtual slave to the scale and pretty much let it rule my life for a couple of years, so I threw it out. I was sick of letting those numbers dictate how I felt about myself and my progress. Now I gauge how I'm doing on my clothes. Right now they're definitely feeling tight, so I'm doing my best to stay totally on plan. I don't have a set weight that I'm shooting for anymore, but I definitely have a clothes size I'm shooting for
