I Met My Goal Weight!




After 13 1/2 months 117 pounds down I have met my goal weight of 175.4! My starting weight was 292.4 My starting BMI was 45.8 now it is 27.1 I lost 40.01% of my body weight. I owe each and every one of you a HUGE THANK YOU! Even if you didnt know it, you helped me keep motivated. Kept me accountable. Now that I have reached goal, that doesnt mean my journey is over. I will still have the battle of being in "Maintance" of maintaining my weight. I do plan on getting down to 170.4 just so I have a little wiggle room. It is normal to go up and down a few pounds.
