It's such a good feeling to reach a personal goal

[Heloisa]

So the last year or so I sort of let myself go. It wasn't that I was eating poorly, I just ate heaps and didn't excercise enough to burn off the extra caloric intake which was very bad of me considering all my training to become a Chiropractor.

Subsequently I gained hmmm about an extra 15-18 pounds. It just kind of snuck up on me last fall and over the winter LOL. I'm 6 feet tall and my frame could hold it but I looked "thick" LOL.

Anyhow, this past spring I made the conscious decision to regain control and get my body back to "normal".

I'm SO fricking stoked this morning (so I just had to share this story) because I hit my goal (a bit quicker then I expected too). 90.0kg (198lbs)

I feel soooo much better now and it's such a neat feeling to have friends come up and say "wow you look so rested!" ROFL!!

Thanks for reading my story, hehe now I'm going to go eat breakie lol :D

Hey, good for you man! When I moved to cali last year I was a strapping 213 lbs. At the first 2 fan events I was hovering at about 200, and now I weigh in at about 180. I have no idea how i lost the weight. Mabey I have a tape worm!

Hearty congrats Heloisa! Getting where you wanted to go is a great feeling. :)

Wow, way to go, Heloisa, two counts of victory!! First to reach a specified goal in under the allowed time is sweet triumph indeed (and reaps its own rewards :) ), but to also have been able to lose weight like that is such a victory. You have done what thousands (if not millions) in the world would like to do but, for one reason or another, can't seem to accomplish. That alone can make salads look awfully good :p
