goal reached!!!

Congratulations!!!! You must feel so GREAT!!!!  Quite an accomplishment to reach your goal. I agree, maintenance is going to be challenging.

 Congratulations!!!! Savor the day! What an accomplishment! I am sure you will maintain this time, because you have "the tool". That's what my doctor's nurse says. Now you'll learn to work it to maintain, just like you did to lose.

I'm far from there, but I like the idea of the maintenance boards. I know I have done better with all the help I get online. You won't be alone.

I don't have any advice - - still a ways to go for me - - but just wanted to say congrats!! That's awesome!

Congratulations on getting to your goal!!  Great job.

I got to my surgeon's goal and then my goal, but I still want to drop some more for bounce back so I'm not trying to maintain yet either.

thanks so much for the well wishes!  still can't believe it!!  i guess it'll just be trial and error ont the maintenance.  might just start with an extra protein shake or something.....going to take it one bite at a time, one day at a time!  sending will wishes your way.....through all the stalls...thought it wouldn't happen.....but with sticking to the program and finding the support and encouragemet from this board (i don't post every day but i do lurke every day).....it happened!

had a nsv today as well.....i participated in my 3rd 5k!  all i wanted was to run the entire distance..(i don't run fast....probably turbo turtle!)  i actually ran the entire 5k!  2 friends ran it with me and i'm the oldest of the 3 of us (i'm 52) and i actually finished 7 minutes ahead of them!  oh my gosh!  it felt so good!  this time last year i weighed 250+ pounds!  still hard for me to wrap my head around that one!!

thank you so much, my precious LW peeps!  you are all awesome!!!

 Congratulations! Way to go!!!
