Good Morning everyone!!!!!!
I have been hanging around 153 for quite some time (almost two months). Well this week I kicked it up a notch, and lost four more pounds!! That puts me at 149! Yes.... 149!!!
So that means that I have OFFICIALLY hit the century mark.... a total loss of 101 lbs!!!!!!!! I am so excited.... and proud... this is such an awesome feeling!!
When I first began my journey I was 250 lbs, wearing a size 24. And now -- JUNIORS: 7/9 Bottoms, L/XL tops (stupid redundant skin...) -- MISSES 6/8 Bottoms, S/M tops (In the Petite section!!! I don't think I would have ever refered to myself as PETITE!!!!)
I looked at old pictures of me this morning... and I didn't even recognize the person in the photograph.
I am 9 pounds away from my personal goal of 140! And just .6 of a point away from NORMAL BMI!! (Current BMI: 25.6) I don't think I've EVER had a normal BMI. Come to think of it, I've NEVER worn a single-sized peice of clothing, and I've definately NEVER been in the 140's!!
Just wanted to share my excitement!! Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!!!!

congratulations on breaking through! i know that 150 mark is very powerful for people (i haven't been below that since 3rd grade or so). plus loosing the 100 lbs and to be an almost normal BMI is awesome!
i have been struggling a bit lately. i went to the National Eating Disorders Association conference yesterday and they had the worst food! it was very odd. every treatment center had a table with brochures etc and a bowl of candy!!

Way to go!! It takes a lot of determination and desire to lose weight and you have both.
I remember when I hit the first century mark and I told people that was my first set of zeros and I have 2 more to go. Well I hit my second century mark and in a few more months I will be at my third set of zeros .
Keep up the good work, you are a real insperation to all!
