Just changed my goal--I'm going ALL THE WAY

When I started here (9/29), honestly, my goal was to just be "overweight" and no longer "obese." In this month, I have got the hang of the tracking, started kicking up the activity, and have been obsessing over the success stories on MFP...and have now decided to go all the way to the top range of "healthy" BMI (which, for me, means I'm going for a total loss of NINETY-TWO instead of sixty-two pounds. Jeez, as I typed that, I realized that's enough weight to be a whole adult person (a tiny one, however). It's going to take a lot longer, and I'm still going to celebrate getting below 30 BMI...but I think I can actually go the distance. I think it's been over 30 years since I was below 25 BMI. I don't know what clicked...and honestly, I should be sleeping more, and reading success stories less...but for those of you who've posted your amazing successes (and especially you brave photo posters)...know what you are the inspiration for all of us just beginning the journey to know that WE CAN DO THIS!
