I know I don't post often but I had to share with all of you.

I joined WW on April 22nd of 2004, yesterday I reached goal. My WW's goal was 158#s, I needed a 3 # loss and I ended up loosing 4#s. Now I am a little worried because lately I have been having 3 decent losses and a gain, next week would be my gain week, so I am committed to being stict with my activity and staying OP.

I weighed in last night and the week prior I was at 161, I got on the scale and watched the # she wrote down, she stopped at 15 stood there and I thought she was going to write a 9. I almost lost my mind. She finished and wrote 157, I jumped off the scale and just stood there. I had just gotten done telling someone how much further I had to go.

Last weekend with it being the holiday I went out of town. I ate in a few places I normally wouldn't and missed two days at the gym, granted I went to the zoo and walked but I am rather agressive at the gym so I was concerned between the food and using all my FP's and missing a few days that WI would not be good, perhaps it was just what my body needed.

I have lost 136.5 #s. I am estatic.

It didn't really hit me until the middle of the night last night I woke up and was just in shock. I am scared now, I never really thought I would get here. So I am not sure how to act, I have to ease into it and take it day by day. I still want to loose 2#s to get to my personal goal of 155, but I am here, I have arrived!

This morning I got up around 5 and headed off to the gym, I was on the treadmill this morning and started crying. I worked so hard. I am not a person who toots their own horn but darn it I am proud of myself.!

Thank you for being here, I don't post much but I do lurk a lot and y'all have taught me quite a few things.

I can't thank you enough.

That's wonderful! *clapping* It requires a LOT of lifestyle and behavioral changes to get to where you are today. I hope you are proud of yourself - I know I'm proud of you.

Way to go!

congratulations!!! what a great accomplishment! it's natural to be nervous, but hopefully soon you'll realize that losing weight the slow and healthy way means that now it's a new lifestyle for you, not a short term change - and that's not going to disappear.
