I made my goal weight!
I was nervous when I stepped on the scale last week. I knew I was so close to getting goal, but with my overactive imagination I figured I had gained 3 lbs or something.
The receptionist told me, "You did good this week!" I figured I had lost just a pound, which is better than gaining, but I just wanted to get this all over and done with. As she was handing me my weight record back she did a double take and said, "Wait a minute... you did it! You made goal! Congratulations!"
I am very, VERY happy! Now I begin the 6 week maintenance program. If I stay within 2 lbs of my goal weight I will become a Lifetime Member and won't have to pay for meetings. I'm nervous. I've never gained more the 0.6 of a pound, but I am just worried that something will go awry. I'll just stick with what I have been doing and hopefully I will see success!
My in-laws gave me a wonderful birthday present- a gift card to buy new clothes. It is so nice to try on clothes now! I'm going to have fun!
Thank you for all your encouragement on here. I was hesitant to write about my weight loss journey, but I am so glad I did!

Maggie, you look absolutely amazing!!!! You are an inspiration :).
You look great, have fun clothes shopping!!
Congratulations Maggie!
Great job, Maggie! I'm so happy for you. You did it!!! I LOVE shopping when I am not overweight. I can't wait to go myself in a few months and get a couple of new outfits after having Vincent.
yay you!!!
Wow wow wow! I guess I better actually do this WW thing (I've been cheatin' like crazy!)
You look great! Congrats!
Congrats! You look great!! You can definitely maintain after all of your hard work!
Have a blast shopping for new clothes! You definitely deserve it!
Yowzer!! Look like a hot mama! :)
Seriously, awesome, fabulous job on this hard work. Way to go!!
It's amazing how just having a plan and sticking with it works, isn't it? Each time I attempt to lose the baby weight I go through a "I guess I'm just going to be a little heavier" phase and then end up kicking myself in the butt and doing it again. WW is great and has proven itself over and over again. But that doesn't make it easy. Here's a virtual high five for a job well done!
Way to go! Congratulations!
Maggie, you look incredible. You have such a beautiful spirit that it shines through no matter what. But I'm sure it feels great to be healthier and to fit better into clothes! Woo Hoo!
Congratulations on reaching your goal! Enjoy your shopping--lucky lady!
