Nice recovery!!! You're almost there. So nicely done!  

Thank you Melissatwa! I'm not sure if I could've done it without your support! My next goal is 160lbs! Then 140lbs is my ultimate goal, but first to get close to 160 by mid-October I'm not sure if I can do it in 7 weeks but I'm sure as heck going to try! 

I'm so glad you are sticking with it and that there is FS! I am absolutely certain I would not have made as far on my journey without it! Time goals are great, but just slowly moving the right direction is what counts!!! We can do this! I'd love to be 140, but if I can just get 145 and hold it for six months before even dreaming of less, I will be pretty thrilled! Hang in there!!! 😁 😁 😁  

Yeah I realize that I may be setting myself up for failure trying to get to 160 in 7 weeks especially since it's been so difficult just trying to get to 180. My daughter is getting married mid October and I'll be seeing A LOT of people (family) that I haven't seen in a very long time and that is motivating me right now. I think once I do get to 160 I might hold it there a while and start exercising. If I get to 140 then great! But it's not going to rule my world. Already I have had tremendous relief from osteoarthritis since losing weight. I have a very messed up lower back that they can't do surgery on that I'm so happy to say is virtually pain free!  

I just sent you a personal message. 😁
