Edited bc you all have me some perspective!! 70 LBS is not mini. I meant mini bc it was 10 lbs from my last big goal.
Today I met my mini goal of reaching the weight I was when I got married!! It also means 70 lbs is gone forever!
Wow that’s great, well done. Not such a ‘mini’ goal either, most of us would be happy with that as an end result!!!
You should be proud of yourself.
Yes, I had the same thought! When I saw “mini” in the title, I was expecting 10 or 20 pounds.
70!!! wow! Well done, Misty!
70 lbs is pretty significant, I agree. I call it a mini goal, bc from my last “big goal” to my next “big goal” this was in between. I have been getting myself prizes for reaching my big goals. Last time was a beautiful spalted maple ukulele and lessons to learn to play. My next goal reward will be a young living essential oils kit. Since they are spendy rewards I make the goals pretty significant. Keeps me motivated
I still have a good 50 lbs to go total, 80 if I want to see my “ideal weight”; which is a laughable number. I can’t look that far ahead. Right now I focus goal to goal.
Wonderful attitude! You can do it, I have no doubt. Excellent job, and congratulations!
Congratulations!!! You are doing a great job! And I love the part about how it is “gone forever” - I’ve lost AND regained a lot of weight in my life and with Keto, I finally feel like I’ve found the key to weight loss AND maintenance. Good job again! Meeting a goal like that is such a great way to start a Monday. 
This is so true, Whitney. I wonder how many of us here feel the same way? Right now, I can’t imagine EVER going back to the weight I was, for whatever reason. It’s like a door has opened up, and I’m never walking back through it. Sure, there will be some fluctuations and stalls, but the idea of gaining all my weight back (or even half) seems so impossible to me.
I’ve known several people who went on extreme diets and lost A LOT of weight, only to regain it all OR MORE back. I keep thinking they’re just watching me, wondering how long before I gain mine back. But I just can’t imagine that happening. I can’t imagine what circumstances would cause me to stop eating this way, and ever regain that weight.
I don’t want to say their aren’t any, but the point is this. I love my life now. I LOVE the food I eat. I don’t feel deprived in ANY way, and I’ve never been happier with myself. What on earth would make me turn away from this?
I kinda feel like this is one big, involuntary clinical trial, and we’re just getting started. I can’t wait for the results in 10, 15, or 20 years to come out, and show how successful and healthy we all are!
Congrats!! 70 lbs is major!!! You must feel like a completely different person!!! Way to go!!!
Fantastic reward for your hard work. If 70 is a mini goal, I can’t help but wonder what a major goal would look like for you.
Congrats on taking those lbs off. KCKO you are doing great.
Well 70 wasn’t a mini goal. Going from 225 to 210 was my mini goal. That just happened that it was also 70 lbs. I focus on weight to weight, rather than total lbs. My next goal is to see 197. So from 210 that is not so far, but total that will be over 80.
