Re: Celebration Of Reaching Goal!!!!

That is so awesome...just when I feel like I am losing some of my motivation I came across your post...you are soo inspiring! What helped you to stay motivated throughout your weight loss journey?

The people here were a huge help! In fact, I really don't think I could have done it without them! It really helps to have friends and family that are supportive and cheering you on!

One thing is for sure, if I can do it, then anybody can. It isn't some super motivation, it is just figuring this WOE out. It isn't a diet, it is a completely new mindset. There was a point somewhere during OWL, that I really started to BELIEVE it. After that it became easy.

Just take one step at a time and you will get there and remember that we are here for you to cheer you on!

I averaged about 2 lbs per week. I lost a bunch in the beginning, but then slipped some at the end of '06, so in the first 4 1/2 months, I had only lost 28 lbs. The remaining 130 lbs has been since 1/1/07. I did stay on plan and I moved on to OWL in April and made my way up the ladder. I just ate what I was supposed to, but didn't really limit calories too much. I also exercised everyday, which made a huge difference.
