Survive and Thrive

Hello again! I don't have much time today, but I thought I'd include a weight update:

Weight: 299 <-------- DO YOU SEE THAT?? OUT OF THE 3's!!! For the first time in almost a year!! YAY! I'm never ever going back!
Lbs lost: 26.5
Lbs to goal: 98.5
Lbs to mini goal (40lbs): 13.5

Ok! So now I'm UNDER 100 lbs away from my ultimate goal and a mere 13.5 lbs away from my first mini-goal of 40lbs! I'm gonna treat myself to a new hair style when I reach 40. I really feel like I'm at a pivotal time in my life right now. I'm trying to attack my life from all angles and make it better.

For the record, I DIDN'T have WLS or get a LapBand, I just cut out sugar for the most part which has really killed my cravings and now I eat probably a 3rd-half of what I used to eat. I eat about 1200-1600 calories a day and I'm not really having a hard time fitting within this range (which is probably why the weight is falling off at such a steady pace). I also just started exercising because I don't want to lose weight and then be flabby and I know that will certainly plateau if I don't!
