Congratulations as well! Savor the moment but keep the seatbelt fastened. In some ways a tougher leg of the journey starts but you are closer your destination too. Some important steps have been laid out above and wisdom says to follow the advice. You will see progress if you look for small improvements rather than monumental ones. I would measure progress by eating an extra bite or going outside for a few minutes or not feeling so fatigued for that day. Please reach out to the group with questions and concerns. We are with you on the journey.
