lsereno 2,525 Posted March 25, 2012 Hi all, I've been hovering around goal for weeks but today I am finally, officially there! I weighed 134.5 this morning. It's not my normal weigh in day, but I said the day I get to goal, that's the day I declare it! Time to join the maintenance threads!!!! I'm loving my new life. Over the course of this, I have spent time worrying I would never get to goal so it is extra sweet that I am here! During the last 10 months I have learned: How to walk with my knees closer together and my back straight because I'm not carrying 100+ extra pounds everywhere I go. Tracking food and Water can be easy: I use a white board on my fridge door. I have to have a group exercise. I simply will not exercise on my own. I look great in $5 tshirts from Walmart and Target. Probably two pounds of my weight loss is from my thinner hair, but it is coming back! The freezer is my friend. I freeze lots of bits of veggies and meats and reuse them later. Only the skinniest people obsess about my weight loss. What's up with that? I'm looking forward to maintaining my weight and enjoying my healthy life. I feel like I've been given a gift of good health and I am enjoying it every day! Lynda 2 VACookey and koriswlj reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
