Wow, what excitement so many who have joined and a wedding to look forward to to boot.
YOU go girl to you 300 pound goal- My next mini goal is 250 and I'm hoping to get that by the end of summer. But, I've noticed this mini challenges of 10 pounds help me a lot.
Last year about this time I had gotten down to 265 then poop happened, and I was a very unhappy camper and kept setting my goals a little to high, when I didn't reach them, I gave up and you sure can gain faster than you can lose.
This time around I'm taking a different approach, last year my goal was to lose 100 pounds in one year.... yes, I know people have done it, but I cut that in 1/2 this year and so far I'm keeping just the right pace... plus the support on these forums is the best. I've seen several people who started out at over 300 pounds and they are doing it and it has incouraged me too! It's like they are showing me the way.
My best friend has gone from 427 down to about 240 and it's taken her a few years. I'm so proud of her and when she was here for my daughters graduation she had so much get up and go... I actually cried happy tears for her. She looked so different, I never knew her small... actually she told me she never was small even in grade school. When I met her she was at about 325, her and I worked on it together and she got below 300 then we were both displaced in our jobs (government base closures). She ended up moving down south and hated it and therefore gained up to 427. I knew from telephone conversations she was losing but what a shock it was to see it...my GOSH I was so happy for her. And, now the best news, she met Mr. Right, finally-- she's been dumped on by so many jerks in the past and now she's engaged.
Anyway... possitive thoughts... it can be done! And-- we are all doing it.
boy did I get off subject!!!!
I'm going to do my start weight tomorrow night since I haven't weighed in last week due to vacation....
Talk to you all soon
