my husband told me that when i reached my goal weight we could go on a vacation my choice! well, i have about 10 pounds to go , so we figured we needed to book now for good rates! last year i wanted to lose 85 pounds, and i am thrilled to have made it this far! primarily i need to tone uo now, but am so rpoud of what i have accomplished!! we are staying at an all inclusive in Dominican Republic (punta cana) and leave Jan 28. so only 5.5 months away!! ha ha which is plenty of time to get more town and hit the last 10 pounds:)thanks for reading about my joy!!

First, great job on the weight loss! I was on that road once and will eventually be back to it - it's not easy! Second, I'm SOOO jealous of your vacation! Maybe DH will agree to something similar for us Wink

thanks everyone!! i am very excited! for the first 50 pounds i followed weight watchers but then hit a 6 month plateau. so then i started following calories using loseit.com which is free. i realized that for the remaining pounds, every food had to be accounted for. i couldnt have 'free' fruits and veggies and extra food throughout the week that weight watchers allowed. i also think that my body needed change after doing the same system for so long. exercise was a must for me as well. i took up running after LO was born and gave myself mini goals, like running 5k or 8k that kept me motivated. on this journey my eyes were opened to so much. every little thing u do adds up. previously before being prego i tried losing without lasting success. however now i realized that even if i did bad one day, tomorrow is always a new day. more than that, the next thing u put in your mouth is a choice u can make to benefit or harm ur goals. its been a great feeling being so determined and focused. i actually wish i could help motivate others too! ha

oh and one more thing that helped was being open with everyone my goals bc then i was accountable in front of everyone for what i would eat. i also talked with my dr numerous times about weight loss and checked in with him. he was so helpful and supportive for me too.

I am SO happy for you! 75lbs is amazing! I'm on the long road to hopefully 116lbs down. So far I'm down 34.5 since April. I love reading stories like yours and knowing that I CAN do it! Congrats and your trip sounds AMAZING.
