Lost 30 pounds and wanted to share (beehaw.org)

I hope all of you are having a great day! I just was feeling encouraged today as I have officially lost 30 pounds since August, 10 of which have been just this last month. I don't have many people in my life to share this accomplishment with, so I figured I would post here.

I'm new to Beehaw and federated social media in general. I have spent a lot of time lurking on Reddit, but I'm finally ready to actually be an active part of a friendly, inclusive community!

Congratulations! It's been some time since being at my heaviest, but the memories of shedding the weight and feeling good about new healthier habits is still fresh. I hope you celebrated the milestone with something that will help keep up that good work you're doing

I haven't celebrated with anything yet, got any good ideas? I know when I finally hit 100lbs lost, I am going to get my first tattoo to commemorate it

When I lost the first twenty it was a new cookbook, and at thirty lost it was some new pants and shirts for the rotation. That quickly became additional better fitting clothes since I was still dropping weight.
