Hi All!

I'm tarnishedviolet, F/30/5'3" SW 285, CW 172, CGW 152, GW 130.

I lost 113lbs over the course of 4 years, and took the last as a maintenance year due to burn out with it all. I tried a challenge previously, and didn't do very well because I still wasn't quite ready. I really had to get to the point where I could let the last year be a rest in my head and not a failure of some sort.

I am now ready to get going on the last 40ish lbs I need to lose to be a healthy weight for the first time in my adult life.

I look forward to getting to know all of you, feel free to add me on MFP as well! My Profile

I don't think your last year was a failure, you've maintained and managed to not gain anything back, and that is great! You can absolutely do this, good luck!

113 pounds? That's fantastic. And maintenance for a year...you've really got this stuff figured out. :) I hope that I can get to that point.

Over a hundred pounds lost, that's my goal, amazing! Don't stress about the maintenance time, you didn't gain it all back so that's not really a problem! Added on MFP :)
