I have lost about 38 pounds so far, doing two diet bets along the way for about 26 of them.  This is my third diet bet and I want to keep the momentum going!  I have 29 pounds to go until I reach my first goal.  Then I would just like to keep that weight off for about a year or so before I even think about doing more weight loss.  At my smallest I was about 25 pounds smaller than my goal weight, and I still have some of my old clothes.  That serves as motivation for me, believe me because the clothes are so cute ;-)
