Devon!!!!!! I am sooooo proud of you I could cry!!!!!!!!!
Maybe I am more excited than you are that you reached goal. You have been a huge inspiration & I thank you for everything you have taught me. Even though I have at least 12 more pounds to go since I lowered my goal. You are amazing. You deserve all the happiness that is coming to you!!!!

 AMAZING TRANSFORMATION!!! There is the external transformation, but what happens internally, is even more astounding. You look at least 15 years younger and very healthy and happy. The BMI charts are not an end all, that is for sure.

When I hit goal, it felt anti-climatic. The weight loss phase is filled with many achievements and increases in self-confidence, so when you hit maintenance, it can feel like, "What now?" Continuing to set goals i.e. decreased body fat, increases in strength and endurance, and any number of things, can keep the motivation going. Nothing really changes, just a few more calories and continued growth along this journey of self-discovery.

Welcome to the rest of your life!! Lots of ((HUGS)). You have done a fantastic job!!! I bet your PCP is impressed!!!
