Default I'm finally able to say GOAL!

I reached my goal weight tonight after attending WW for 15 months. I lost 130.8lbs. I would like to encourage everyone that's reading this that it can be done. My number 1 tip is to believe in yourself and realize that you are worth the effort.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
I'm so happy for you! I just recently started to get serious about losing this weight and seeing your story this morning lets me know that it can be done! I'm starting at 239 with a goal of 150.
I can't imagine how happy you must be right now. Way to go!

For sharing such wonderful news with us! I imagine that you are a much stronger person now that you have achieved something so great and so difficult for most people. I am behind you, and if I continue, next summer I will be at MY goal! Congratulations on your success!

Default Cool!

I know this is late, but congratulations!! May I ask what you did, I mean, exercise, how often, etc...

I'm 15 pounds away from my goal, but it's taking almost two years so far.. I don't think I'll reach my goal weight by my 2nd WW anniversary/September, but at least I'm getting there.

For excerise, I mostly did Richard Simmons tapes. I built up a library of them so I could vary my routine. I have 3 toning tapes and the rest are aerobic. I would do three days of aerobic and 3 days of toning during the week. It certainly isn't a ton, but it was more than I was doing. I found that Richard's tapes are the only thing that I can motivate myself to do. It's almost like it's not work because I enjoy them so much.

Good luck to you. I know that the waiting is so hard, but it will be so worth it in the end!
