I hit my "goal" weight spot on this am.. It was surprisingly not a big deal to me? I guess for a few reasons.. one: I know I want to drop some more fat and two: after doing this for the last year plus, the numbers just don't hold the magic for me.. it's more the way I feel and look, and it's not like all of a sudden my work is done.. I got a lifetime to try my damnedest to stay healthy. I AM happy, don't get me wrong.. but it wasn't a big Happy-Happy-Joy-Joy moment.. which 30lbs ago I thought it would be.. More of a "hey, cool" moment.
Which brings me to the other part.. I am still dropping, and won't be changing anything up yet- other than to add some more serious weights to the mix as I have a case of washboard chest happening, and I'm not fond of seeing & feeling all the ribs. Need to lift heavier and get that filled in better- arms, good- legs, good.. chest.. nope! Everything though could be bigger with muscles. I like them on me.. just need to work harder at that part. I can hike my butt off, and I can help clear a fallen tree (yesterday's chore at my parents.. hoping I didn't get any poison ivy!) Things I could never have done one year ago. Those types of things make me feel great about this whole deal.
I will get my husband to snap some pics of me and post them later in the before & afters section. Last time I took any was when I got under 200, so I'm overdue for that reality check, and probably in need of it too. Till then, here's to keeping on!

It sounds to me like you have started believing that you could achieve your goals. You are not awed or amazed because you know thanks to the surgery you will attain all your goals. I hope to get there someday. I am encouraged and inspired by your success.

Can it be a big deal for me? I think this is awesome, and you have a great outlook. I too discovered the joys of weightlifting, love it, both the results and the mental power lift it gives. And now since moving to California I hike too. I find this all very inspiring, and I can't wait to see your pics!

Wow, I'm way late (I've been MIA for a long time...took a new job and have been in a crazy whirlwind training period plus a long distance move...), but big CONGRATS! I kind of had the same feeling when I hit goal where there wasn't any A-Ha! feeling or anything when I had expected I would throw a parade or something. But hopefully you still did something fun to celebrate or mark the milestone. You've worked really hard.
I'll have to go check out your before and after pics!
