Scott in Florida - 52 weeks, goal reached
« on: August 31, 2011, 08:15:11 AM »
It's kind of hard to believe this day has arrived! This morning's weigh-in put me at exactly 80 pounds lost, after exactly 1 year.  Nice and neat, the way I like it!

I went back in the forum and found my very first post from a year ago - after I was on this way of eating for a whole 12 minutes:



Doesn't seem like a year ago already.  Anyway, a big thanks to everyone here in the forum for your ongoing support and encouragement - it means a lot.  And a special thanks to Doug for writing that great book that is changing so many lives.

This is not the end of a journey; it's actually the beginning.  Losing the weight is just the first step.  Keeping it off is the real success story.  I have no doubt that it will continue to work.  I will continue to check in to the forum and be accountable. 

Hope you guys have a great week!  It's already a great one for me!

Scott

Thanks everyone!  I do feel great.  Today is my son's birthday so we are going out with family tonight.  I will celebrate with an extra big Caesar salad  :)

Speaking of my son, he is 26 years old, average build, never had a weight problem.  We were shopping for clothes recently and discovered that I am only one shirt size bigger than he is (14.5 to 15.5).  Fun stuff!

That picture in my post was from a trip to Ecuador in early July, when I still had about 10 pounds or so left to lose.
