I had a goal of losing 70 lbs last year. I almost made it, lost 62 (yes so close to goal.. its a shame) and then got soooo tired of the struggle that we started to slip. Holidays came and I went a bit too far. I came in the year at losing 50lbs though and am starting the year out again with a goal of 70lbs again.

I think this year I will be more prepared and I think that the holidays will be better too. I will definitely have a goal over the holidays ---even if it is just to maintain my losses. I am still very proud of what I accomplished last year and I will do more this year. Its a slow process...but well worth it.
