100 pounds, or Halfway
 
I have posted this elsewhere, but decided I would add it here to make it sort of an "official" milestone, to announce that I have lost 100 pounds since I began my journey, and that puts me halfway to goal.

It's only taken me *four years* to get here. Just lately I've seen posts from people saying they lost 100 pounds in 4 months, or 6 months. Grrrrrr. I have to learn not to compare myself to people like that. My journey may be taking be longer, but at least I'm still making progress, even if turtle-like. And getting over halfway is a big rush.

When I read those I note they are from young, active men. Women, especially older women, are not going to be able to do that.

Just enjoy your success--your looking really good!!!

Girl, you look amazing.
You should be proud of yourself!
It took me a LONG time to lose mine, too, but well worth the journey.
Just think....four years...100 pounds....25 pounds a year aint too shabby if ya ask me!
Congratulations and KUTGW!

Thanks everyone for all the kind comments! It may take me a long time still, but I'm not giving up, and continue to work on it. Next goal, just to be "obese" instead of "morbidly obese" :lol:

Some people lose 100 lb in six months and gain 150 lb in the following six months. You could maintain your loss for four years, which is a more impressive feat. Congratulations! I'm sure you feel a lot better weighing 100 lb less.

Well done and certainly an acheivement to be proud of.
