Well, I've officially reached my goal weight everyone! I can't believe I finally did it. Almost without even knowing it...it snuck up on me...guess that's okay though huh?...

Thinking about moving my goal weight already...lol big surprise....any advise on that?...I'm 34, 5' 6"...think I'm supposed to weigh around 120-130...comments?

CONGRATS!! Already added some comments in your P3 forum post.

As far as resetting goals, personally I'd just try P2/P3 on for size for a bit. Most people find they still continue to lose a bit over the first few months anyway. I think taking the scale watching out of the equation for a little bit is maybe a good idea. ??? But up to you!!

Thanks everyone...I do feel great!...more healthy than I've ever been.

I decided to join up with the 8 week challenge thread...see what I can do before Christmas as far as passing my goal...hey, if I'm on a roll, why not get to where I think I should be...I've been telling myself I don't know if I should change my goal weight, but the truth is I do...I want to get about 20 lbs off I think...I would feel better about what's in the mirror anyhow...I feel thin and very self confident when out and about, (with clothes on) but the mirror throws me a different view point every morning, so...damn it...think I'm going to keep going for awhile and see where I can get.
????: South Beach Diet Forums http://www.southbeachdietbulletinboard.com/success-stories/2218-i-did.html

tee hee...I started that 8 week challenge early on Monday...weighed in this morning and I'm down 2.2 pounds...(sshhhh)...don't tell anyone I got a head start...lol

Default i think i should have posted my claps in this thread
instead i cheered you on in the introduction forum. I hope it wasn't too confusing. It is just wonderful news that you are still losing. Keep posting your tips and strategies. It helps so much to have online buds to keep my commitment strong!

you are going to move that ticker all the way off the screen!!!!:Hug1:

Thanks Everyone!! And to answer this question...

I started SBD about 3 years ago...I weighed 282 pounds...I started and followed the diet right outta the book...to a "T"...I lost 100 pounds the first year I was on SBD...All I did was follow the diet...ate all day, six times a day...how cool is that...I didn't even add exercise that I can remember the first time around...well anyhow, after losing 100 pounds, I weighed about 180pounds and thought I was hot shit boy...lol..
Then I lost my head...went out to eat to celebrate...repeatedly...I went right back to the way I was eating and wow...holy crap...I somehow reached 232 pounds again...then last year, TOM sent me an e-mail telling me 'not to go off the diet for the holidays'...hell, I wasn't even on a diet anymore...and I had already gained 53 pounds back!!! OMG!!! I WAS SO OUT OF TOUCH...smack...what was I doing???? RE-GAING 100 POUNDS?...that will be fun....STUPID....well that just made me mad..and more determined than ever....

I restarted last year on Nov. 19th ...and I've lost 85 pounds in 12 months...normally a steady pace, but some weeks more than others... 1/4 of a pound this week, and 5 the next!...it truly is a yo-yo process, even if your still losing,...take every loss you can get and celebrate it!...they all add up in the end!

Great to meet you all...if you need anything, I'm around!
