What's Next for Me?

I currently have about 14 pounds left until I reach my goal weight. I am 100% focused on reaching this goal. After I reach my goal I will start the life-long maintenance of my weight loss. I don't view my eating plan as a diet. In fact I enjoy eating healthy, natural foods -- so I don't plan to change my eating habits. I also enjoy working out and being active. I've come to view myself as an athlete and enjoy seeing exactly how hard I can push myself. I love seeing improvement. It is pretty satisfying to know that when I started it took me 25 minutes to walk a mile and now I can run that same mile in 9 minutes. I hope that by next year I have something as satisfying to report.
