My first goal met :)

Today it happened, about 1pm as I stepped on the scale (wasnt even supposed to weigh myself today). Anyway, today it read 250. Actualy for the first time I also noticed that I no longer wanted to celebrate by eating. 

 I started july 14 this year at 290+ as the scale didnt show a higher number then that (oh boy) not even after I tried weighing myself without heavy jeans etc did it go below. I joined ediets and payed 16 bucks a month. Quickly as I tried to find out the amount in grapes did I find CalorieCount and noticed that I hardly ever went to my paysite..  now today, October 16th I weigh 250.  

 I am 5.3 and trying to get down to 124 pounds.  I also took before and after pictures but I am sceptical about daring to show em publicly. But I recommend for everyone to take them because it really shows a diffrence.

Even if you are in the middle of weightloss.. take a picture now, dont think its too late.. take it! its the only way i can see ive lost weight  

CONGRATULATIONS!!! that is a fantastic accomplishment. you should be SO proud of yourself. dance around, treat yourself to a massage/manicure/really long shower or bubble bath (ooh, a bubble bath sounds good now that it's getting to be chilly fall weather *note to self to remember)

Glad to hear you met your first goal!  That's a lot of weight in a short period of time.  I really enjoy this site, it's helping me a lot.  Although I don't post many notes I get motivated by reading other people's struggles and achievements.

Keep up the awesome work!!!!

Thank you!

jessinca: Yea autumn is really cold and dark here in WA so I did follow your suggestion and I did take a long bath with alot of bubbles and really suggest that you try to remember to do it aswell. :D  

deedus: thanks, you seem to be doing what ive been doing! Everytime I feel like giving up I just go and read around on the motivation forums and here at weightloss forum and it cheers me up :) 

 

Congratulations that is great!

Hey just wanted to tell you congratulations ---I'm living in Seattle too!

you weigh 250 pounds? 

Well congratulations on the first milestone and here's to many more to come!

Congratulations on your weight loss!  As we all know, it's not easy and you should be soooo proud of your accomplishment!!!

I too tried ediets and didn't use it more than a week.  I found CC the same way and am hooked.  The forums really help keep me motivated and less lonely in the trials of counting calories.  And, a post like this one is so motivating.  Thanks for sharing!

Just stopping by to say congratulations!

WOOOHOOO!   Congratulations!!!!!

very good! keep on going

Congratulations!!!!  That is awesome!! What a great feeling eh? Keep up the good work

Congratulations!!! I know how good it feels to meet those first important milestones.  Keep up the great work.  :) :)

congrats!  keep up the excellent work!

Way to go!  Congratulations!

Awesome job....Congrats on the weight loss.

Oh wow hi all and thanks a lot, cant even imagine how I was feeling unmotivated today :D Maybe I wont touch that ice cream my husband bought and brought home yesterday! What a great community this is. Isnt it funny, in a workplace if you put alot of/mostly women together its really bad but works sooo good on a calorie count homepage?

 

Congrats!! I bet you're super proud of yourself :D
