I posted in June that I was down to 170 lbs, and this week I weighed in at 168. I'm not really doing anything except eating most meals at home and trying to include more fruits and vegetables. I haven't particularly cut back on sweets, or been exercising any more than usual or really doing portion control. I would really like to be losing this weight off my stomach, which I'm not really. I can nearly close my fingers around my ankle now, and I didn't really need skinnier ankles as much as say, a discernible waistline, but I guess I'll take what I can get and hope that it is improving my health. I gave a lot of my size 18-22 clothes to Goodwill a few weeks ago, so am hopeful that this is a long-term change. If I were ever down to 150 lbs, I would be ecstatic. I know that seems like it's still a pretty high weight for a goal weight, but my dr and I agreed that aiming for "skinny" would probably not be realistic for me and at around 150 I would be basically a lot healthier than I am now.

That is fantastic! And losing weight because of small "do-able" changes (like eating more veggies) always seemed to me the way to make a true lifestyle change.
