Um... err... uh... goal? OMG GOAL!!!!

I kinda sorta weighed myself on vacation and noted I had lost a bunch of weight... but Monday is my official weigh-in day, and so when I hopped on the scale this morning, I weighed 180.  180!!!!  That's goal!  Holy ****ake mushrooms!!!!!

A pic:


180 was kind of a random goal... it was what I was in college and last felt good at.  My surgeon wants me around 150 per the charts, but I think I would look like a scarecrow at 150.  Then again, I may not have much choice in the matter based on what other people have posted... my weight loss will stop when it wants to I guess.

A reminder of where I started, a year ago:


I couldn't have done it without this board, thank you everyone!

 Awesome, Nurse Dixie ( I was in love with Johnny Gage when I was a kid).
You look terrific, and I know from your posts you feel terrific.
Keep on enjoying everything.
brava.

You look fantastic.  WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic job! You look great. But, you are not even a year out. You probably will continue to lose, and you probably should, because it will give you some room in case of bounce back gain.

Congrats!  Goals are arbitrary....your body will stop when it is done. 

I see you are a cyclist!  It is great that you are out and moving!  That habit alone will greatly increase your chances of long term success.

Thank you Kim!  Actually I'm a runner, but the boyfriend is a cyclist and of course when we went to Spain, what did we have to do?  Cycle through the countryside of course!  I got back at him though the next day with a day-long hike up a mountain LOL.

I always enjoyed exercise pre-kids... and I am finding now that old enjoyment is coming back.  I hope I always keep it.

You will as long as you do things you like to do!  I have been a regular exerciser now for 4 years...I hike, run, do yoga, P90X and boot camp....all activities that I truly enjoy.

You made me want to go hiking!  But I save that for Fall/Winter.....too hot here in the Summer (and too many snakes)!

Congratulations!  Yes you'll probably lose more, let your body do what it wants for now.  Having some comfort for potential bounce back is a good thing.

Thank you guys!  Yes having that comfort room for bounce-back is very encouraging if I lose more

Luckily so far I have not had a huge issue with loose skin (I see arm and tummy surgery in my future some day though), but I feel really good at this weight right now, both skin and energy-wise.

Congratulations!  You look great!
