I just realized I have to lose my goal weight to reach my goal weight...160 to reach 160...I guess by the time Im done, half of me will be gone, but that's a little overwhelming...Worth it though!

    Don't worry - you certainly aren't the only one! Take it one step at a time and concentrate on mini-goals to keep yourself motivated. Good luck!!

    Just think that when you are successful in completing your goal you will be: twice the person you were before.... at half the size.

    Its not an easy journey but the character, determination, confidence, energy, success, failures, trials, encouragement you will gain and experience will be so rewarding. Not to mention the lifestyle betterment!

    I started out needing to lose about 73.03% of my goal weight. Rough, but not impossible. :smile:

    Yeap, and it always starts with the first pound. BEST OF LUCK!!!! You CAN do it. Think of it as a lifestyle change rather than a diet.

    That was me too. At first I thought it would be impossible, really. But now it doesn't seem impossible at all.
    Just break it down into smaller goals and keep moving forward.
    We can do this!

    You can do it!!! I started with 80some odd pounds to lose, it's taken me just about a year to lose 70 of it. I look back at the person I was this time last year and can't believe how much I've changed. It's slow and steady and day to day the changes don't seem like that much but they add up to sooo much! Just keep plugging along!!

    That's exactly what I saw when I looked at my numbers. It's overwhelming but with a little at a time, we can get there!
