I made it!!!

[BabyGotBack 0]

My all time goal was near/at 145 by my 34th birthday (yesterday)

and I weighed in today at 147!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe it!

I have been trying to lose weight my whole life, yo yoing, being too lose/too tight with the band and still not losing....

But, here I am!!!!

Now what???

I need to start an exercise program. Health and fitness is a life long journey for me.

I will still come here for encouragement and to encourage others.

You all have become like a family to me!

I am pretty much done!

I am going to stick to the 145ish range so my body's set point can adjust to this new weight.

I had learned that our body always wants to go to the weight is held the longest. That is what plateaus are sometimes.

But, if you can hold within 5 pounds for 3-6 months, you re set the setpoint!!!

I just need to start exercising.

I think that my results are a combo of a couple things.

I had a Tummy Tuck and Lipo 3 years ago then quickly gained 30 pounds. Swelling doesn't go down for about 6 months so I never got to see the real results, until now!

I also take a supplement called QuickSlim30 that helps your skin tone and muscle. It has special herbs in it that aid with weight loss and the weight loss process.

Congratulations! You look awesome. I loved your comment about re-setting your set point. I used to say my "set point" was around 200 lbs., because it seemed like that's where I kept returning. But, I've "re-set" it to 165, since I've been within 2-3 lbs. of that for six months now. Sometimes I think I want to go down another 5-10 lbs., but if I can stay around this weight for the rest of my life, I'll be happy!
