Today marks my one year of being in maintenance! I am 2.5 pounds less then the day I hit my goal, so I'd say that's purty darn good.

Full report on my blog!

Thanks to everyone here who supported me not only through my journey down but through what has been an emotional and challenging year!

Jen,
You have been an inspiration to me!

That is wonderful! Great job!!!

You look amazing!! What an accomplishment!!

I started in March of 2010, but only made small changes - I wasn't fully "on board" with the lifestyle change for a while. I hit goal in July 2012. So about 2 years and change.

Wow, what an inspiration you are! Thank you for sharing your story and photos! You look incredible!!

OK, I just found this and I am truly amazed, you look HOT!!! I see your blog too and maybe this is covered there but it looks like there is a LOT on your blog, so I didn't look through it all, but I have two questions:

1. Did you hit a big, fat plateau towards the end? If so, how did you bust it? I feel like all the things I've done in the past (changing my exercise routine, rearrange my eating, temporarily up my calories, fast intermittently, etc.) don't seem to work for me now. I've been hovering around my current weight for quite some time. I was able to drop about 8 lbs doing South Beach but the weight loss wasn't "real", as soon as I reintroduced carbs the weight came right back, even with only "good carbs". Any advice to break the plateau near goal?

2. How is your skin so tight, especially in the tummy area? Are you doing anything particular for that? As I lose I still have the tummy pooch and it makes me crazy!!!!!

Hi and thanks for the compliments!

If you see the beginning of my blog. I had skin removal surgery in April 2012. Before that, my skin hung down halfway down my thighs.

I actually did get stuck towards the end. What did I do? I stopped counting calories and I started giving myself some treats. It was summer so I kept exercising, but also did more "real world" things like yard work and gardening. Bang- I dropped to goal.
