Ht. 5'8", Start: 225 lb, Today: 170 lb, Goal: 150 lb - i feel great. i haven't gone over my calories in 3 days. i think that after a week of doing what im doing (only 4 more days!) i will have lost a pound, since i calculated everything via the internet and it should work. i really want to be in the 160's. this morning i got on the scale and the needle was between 169 and 170 so i think i lost half a pound so far. im really excited! my friends bf's brother told me i was looking really skinny and that if i lose anymore weight im gonna disappear (a big exaggeration but it felt nice to hear nonetheless lol) im so excited to be thin. only a little more to go. im so close. ive lost 55 pounds so far, 5 past my original goal. my new goal though is 75, to put me at 150. and then, considering i carry a lot of weight in my midsection (i have a very flat stomach and it looks thin but its flabby and theres at least 4 inches of fat on my lower stomach) i might be able to get away with weighing 140-145. i'll have to see. i dont want to look skeletal or anything, just thin, happy and healthy. i get butterflies thinking about how im going to look. im so excited. ive always wanted to be thin and i KNOW i will be soon enough. i know thats risky to say... that i KNOW, but i really do. ive come so far, after going through life thinking i was never able to lose weight. and i did it, so i know i can finish this journey and go on and live a happy healthy life. we can all do it. we just have to want it badly enough. i have faith in everybody and we all just need to stick together and do it. :) i sound so corny and lame but its all true. anyways just wanted to share that with everybody. keep going guys, we can do it ! :) xo

CONGRATS!! You have done a simply stunning job. I KNOW you will as well, though I can't see I feel the same way about myself just now, but I still know you're right. Yes, we're all doing this together, no question bout it! Thanks for the encouragement. :) Btw, how long has it taken you to loose 55 lbs?

At last someone who has faith that they CAN actually get the weight off lol..and after losing 55lbs, another 20lbs is like nothing, im sure you'll do it =]. Also, you will probs look awesome at 150lbs cos i am the same height as you and this time last year i got down to 150 and although i didnt think i was thin enough at the time, after gaining back 29lbs in a matter of a few months (bulimia) and finding that none of my clothes fitted me anymore i realised i must have been thin at 150 cos i think i look quite good just now at 161! This summer though i WILL lose 11 more lbs and get to 150, and this time im staying there!! I cant wait to be able to eat maintenance cals, LOL.
