I finally got the carrot!

I finally hit a weight loss goal that I've never quite been able to reach. That officially changed with this week's weigh in today when I saw that I exceeded this previously unattainable goal of a fifty pound loss by an additional two pounds. My next major goal is to drop under the 300 pound mark (299.9 counts), which as long as I'm able to maintain my current rate of weight loss, should be by the beginning of November. Its possible, that I may reach a 100 pound loss by the turn of the new year.

That's awesome! Keep up the good work!

Congratulations on meeting your goal! You might want to set up some mini goals for yourself along the way, just to keep the motivation going (although the loss in itself should be very motivating). You also might want to check out OnaMi's journal on the journal board - she's lost 160 lb.

Congratulations. Keep it up!!!

CONGRATULATIONS! That's quite a lot of weight loss and you worked hard and diligently for it. From my own experience I know how easy it is to follow SBD, but at the same time, old habbits are also very hard to break; not stopping for a quick bite at MickyD's or Burger King when you're tired and just want to get something quick. Even though the cravings are gone, it does take dedication to break those old habbits. You have done a marvelous job and deserve all the congrat's we can give you. Great Job!

I was able to fit into a pair of jeans being sold at Walmart today. They were size 48. This is great, not only for health, but also for the pocket book. I had been having to shop at big and tall stores which are ridiculously overpriced.

That's a great benefit of weight loss! It's helpful to keep track of those extras.
