(5,109 posts)58. Awesome!!
You've done a great job! Didn't it feel awesome the first time that number started with a 2? I started my weight loss back in November 2014 and I've gone from 350 to 228. 190 is my goal now.
But great for you! You should pat yourself on the back every day for all the hard work you've done. Your journey has been a lot harder than mine; I have never smoked and I might have alcohol 3-4 times a year. So you've stopped drinking, stopped smoking, and lost weight? You are a champ!!

Very good! Key to keeping it off is to eat well: nutritiously & only enough to satisfy hunger.

Is very hard for people to change their behavior, and I salute you Tobin for doing so.
