Default Reached Goal

Hey guys, after alot of griping and fussing, I've finally reached goal - 204 pounds down from 285. It took me about a year and a half. I'll keep going, of course, but this is a huge milestone for me.

Congrats!!!! It's encouraging to hear that it took you a while and still made it- sometimes I feel like I'll never lose the weight since it didnt' come off as fast as other people's. Stories like yours are encouraging!

I gained and stalled for seven months. I don't feel too bad about it because during that time I got in much better physical shape. I don't mind slow...
