Made it to my second goal, minus 150. Here are several befores from many different years. Slumped in the plastic chair is 455 lbs in 1998. That was my all time high. I was barely living there. In the tux is at my daughter's wedding in 2013. Probably weighed around 425 there. That's me painting my FS icon in 2019. Holding the pumpkin cookie is the official start of this journey at 394 lbs, last October 2020, 307 days ago. The one with eyes closed holding a dried persimmon is from China in January 2020. I'm showing that one because I'm wearing the same belt n the pic I took today, and holding out the excess. Waist was 58. Is now 42. Weight today is 242.6: minus 151.4. There were many days and disappointing weigh ins over the last 10 months when I was sure I was not going to be able to get here at all. The example, wisdom, tips, strategies, menus, food pics and real life coping mechanisms shared by everyone here truly kept me from giving up. I'm not ready to maintain here. I will set one more goal in a few days. For now, I'm just going to try and come to grips with the fact that I actually got here. It feels magical. And when I look at all those befores, I just see all the pain and self destruction I inflicted on myself in what felt like a never ending cycle of down and up. The thought of trying to maintain is actually petrifying because I've never done it. But this time is the first time that I actually believe its possible. Make it log it, eat it.

Wow! you've done it. I am so very very proud of you dear friend. I can literally see your joy and pride increase with each picture. You're doing amazing and the results are there. I am with you on fearing the maintenance phase. I am terrible at in betweens. Excellent at gaining weight and solid at losing it, but the rest is daunting.
I love seeing a closer view of your fish! It's great! Enjoy the high while it's around. :D
I hit a happiness threshold when I reach a goal and stop seeing the change and only see flaws once again. before and afters and in betweens like this are so helpful.
So glad you're well and having joy. :p

Sooooo impressed. You look so happy today! Me reading your post right this minute, has knocked some sense into me about the post I just sent with today's weigh-in. I have to have more patience. My metabolism is sluggishly slow and it is going to take lots of time, and exercise to fix it. I totally understand your fear of maintenance, because I too, have never had success maintaining either. I have noticed on FS that that those who maintain their loss, stay plugged in to FS through years of maintenance, by adding different goals for health and longevity, by firming up, getting stronger, enjoying all the things you could not do at your heaviest. That is my plan, so I don't erase all the efforts to loose, once again. Thank-you for your inspirational post.👍👍
