The Finish Line

Alas,

I step across the finish line and have reached my goal of 170 lbs.

I have lost a total of 139 lbs in just over 9 months. The last pound was a killer.

I am in a state of numbness and disbelief. Guess it just hasn't kicked in yet.

What an emotional feeling.

Geoff,
Congratulations!! What an accomplishment and I agree the last few pounds are the hardest to lose. I touched goal for about a minute but have been trying to lose the 15lbs regained since last year. I am not giving up will keep on truckin' till I get to the finish line!! Congrats again

People comment on my over 100 pound weight loss and attribute it to my WILLpower, but it is my WANTpower: I WANT to be thin and healthy more than anything else!

I can not wait till I get to where you are right now. What a feeling.

Good hard work is all it takes. Who ever says this is the easy way out is nuts.

Never argue with an idiot! They just drag you to their level and beat you with experience!

Congrats on making it to goal! Now to keep it off, not as easy as you may think. The further out you get the harder it gets.

Keep up the great work

Your right. I see a nutritionist monthly and I sure hope that helps.

I have kind of doubled my calorie intake and watching very carefully to see if I am maintaining.

Scares the dickens out of me to be honest.

Hope the baby is doing great!!!

Congrats Geoff!!!! No small accomplishment to reach goal. Never before have I ever reached a WL goal, but know that keeping it off will be no small feat for me. Good luck with the next step. Keep us updated.
