Two things to celebrate tonight!

Hi!  I've been on CC since February '08 and have just met my weight-loss goal of reaching 135 pounds!  Just wanted to share with everyone & hopefully motivate some people to show them it CAN be done.  That's the first thing to celebrate, and the second is that it's my b-day.  I think reaching my goal is the best b-day present I could get!

I've struggled with my weight since my late teens/early twenties and my heaviest was around 200 lbs.  I've tried many different diets, etc and never been able to stick to anything until I found cc.  I started CC weighing about 182 pounds and wearing a size 14/16.  I have since lost 47 pounds and am down to a size 4!  My current goal is to focus more on my weight training and to tone up and gain some more muscle.

Thank you everyone for all of your support and motivation!  Couldn't have reached my goal w/out cc!  I've learned so much!  :D

Congratulations, that's amazing - one of the best birthday presents you could ask for. :)

Speaking of your (really cute) clothes, I love the black top in #7!

OMG congrats! you look beautiful and glowing and happy!

I am about 24 lbs. down and started at 186! I hope I can get down to a size 4 but I have never been that small and I am not sure if it is possible for me! How did you think/feel about your goal weight before you accomplished it? I used to be about 150 throughout highschool and I was pretty small (I am 5'6'') anyway just curious! :) 

oakmommy24~ Thanks!  Congrats on your loss so far!  I started out with my original goal being 140, which I thought I would be so thin when I got there.  Well, got to 140 and still looked like I could lose some, so I decided to go to 135 to get rid of some of the extra fat.  I still have some tummy fat, but I'm going to work on gaining some more muscle and hopefully I can get rid of that too.  You could just start with a goal of 150 and see how you look/feel when you get there.  You can always change it.  :D

well my goal is 136 right now but I am just worried that I might not be able to make it there!

You look so slim and petite its hard to believe you were ever 200 lbs.! Thats great I hope my results are that good! great job!

Congratulations!!! That is amazing and truly motivating. And have the happiest of birthdays!!!

Congrats!!!!  Enjoy every minute of your celebration evening. WOW you must feel soooo good.
