Met Original Goal Today!

When I started on this journey back in February 2008, the goal I originally set was 120 lbs. I put that weight down because I remember reading an article about a woman who was my height, weighed 300 lbs, and got down to that weight. I remember thinking at the time "I'll never get that low, but if I get down to like 150 lbs, I'll be happy."

As I continued on this journey, I passed 150 lbs and started getting from friends and family that I looked great and should stop. I thought "For once I'm going to set a goal and finish it. Maybe I can get down that low" and just kept on going and staying on plan.

I had an appointment with my doctor a couple months ago, and he walked in and said "Well, you don't have high blood pressure and you're not overweight"...which was the first time in 25 years that a health care professional said that to me. He was thrilled with my weight loss and said that I should not get below 115 lbs. Because of that, I changed my goal to lose another 5 lbs.

I got on the scale this morning, and it said exactly 120 lbs. I was in shock. I can't believe I met my original goal. I still want to lose the other 5 lbs, but I'm very excited.
