Here are my goals:

Weigh in day- Wednesday
Starting Weight- 148.8

These are realistic goals for me. Since I am within 14 pounds of my goal weight, the weight has been coming off really slow. So I don't wont to put goals that I can't meet! Also this will put me at goal by the end of the year!! Good luck everyone!

DebsFernandez

Sweet!! We can do it!! I am really looking forward to all this. Can't wait till we show the new year the new us! lol

gettingthin03

I can't wait. We can all post before and after pictures for new years. I was just about to eat a cup of rice and gravy with my lunch but looking at this post, i broke it down to 1/2 a cup instead. :laugh:

drk_diva

Before & after pictures, that's a great idea.

DebsFernandez

@gettingthin03: Lol. And I agree about the pictures. I guess I should take my before now, because I don't have one.

Yesterday my boyfriend wanted to go to this Chinese Buffet place that he loves, and I was like oh no! They have delicious food, but I just kept thinking about how it wouldn't help me here. I had a salad, some fruit and some sushi instead. I love chicken/beef broccoli, but didn't have any. lol.
