Well today was the big day for me I reached my goal and passed it by a pound. The scale said 198.8 which is 199 in my book. All I have to say is YEEEhah. Its been a long trip but by God it was worth it. I'm going to go til I hit 190 because I feel I can go there and it will give me a buffer. I will not lose focus and maintain this weight for the rest of my life.
