Hi all,

I've been hovering around goal for weeks but today I am finally, officially there! I weighed 134.5 this morning. It's not my normal weigh in day, but I said the day I get to goal, that's the day I declare it!

Time to join the maintenance threads!!!!

I'm loving my new life. Over the course of this, I have spent time worrying I would never get to goal so it is extra sweet that I am here!

During the last 10 months I have learned:

• How to walk with my knees closer together and my back straight because I'm not carrying 100+ extra pounds everywhere I go.
  
• Tracking food and Water can be easy: I use a white board on my fridge door.
  
• I have to have a group exercise. I simply will not exercise on my own.
  
• I look great in $5 tshirts from Walmart and Target.
  
• Probably two pounds of my weight loss is from my thinner hair, but it is coming back!
  
• The freezer is my friend. I freeze lots of bits of veggies and meats and reuse them later.
  
• Only the skinniest people obsess about my weight loss. What's up with that?
  

I'm looking forward to maintaining my weight and enjoying my healthy life. I feel like I've been given a gift of good health and I am enjoying it every day!
