Teancum Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I've lost 20 lbs and reached my first weight checkpoint!!!! I've been overweight my whole life, with various successes and failures in losing weight for the past decade or so. My highest weight was 290lbs, about 100lbs more than my ideal body weight of 190lbs, which is my eventual goal. This week I got under 270lbs. This has been a floor in my previous weight loss attempts over the last few years. No matter how well I was doing, it seemed I just couldn't get lower than 270, and around that time I would give up and gain the weight back. Thanks to the great community and philosophy here at NF I have been able to stick to my goals over the last few months, and am actually working toward things other than just "losing weight". That's just a pleasant side-effect! Looking forward to continuing and reaching my next checkpoint!
