Default Mini goal met! 40lbs gone in less than 10 weeks

Well, I made it and did what I thought would be impossible! I have lost 40 lbs in less than 10 weeks. This coming Saturday is the 10 week mark of my new WOE. When I started, the weight came off so quickly that I said "Wow, how great would it be to lose 40lbs before the new year??", and it became my focus. I got really worried at the begining of this month because I was stuck around the 30lb mark for 2 miserable weeks...it felt like forever...and I just knew I would never make up that much ground. Well, the whoosh came, and the pounds left. With 1 more day before the year is over, I made it!

My first goal is to lose 60, which I am hoping to do by my birthday, March 10. From there, I'm shooting for 10-20 more, depending on what I think I can do once I get to that point. It's a weight I don't even remember being, and had to be something I was at at the beginning of high school.

I can't wait to see where the new me ends up!

That's awesome, congratulations!!!!

Goal weight is something we all struggle with. I'm going back on full tilt after the new year starting with a clean induction and see if I can lose another 10. I'm happy where I am, but who knows, always room for improvement.

I'm sure it feels fabulous! Keep up the good work!
