    How quickly we got to our four pages for this thread!!

    I just wanted to jot down a note to all of you.
    I had no idea that this site would help me in the emotional (and of course physical) ways that it has.

    Back in October i decided to start tackling the weight i had put on since college (About 30 lbs since 05) And still I was waking up dreading the closet because I could no longer fit in to more than half of my wardrobe. I cried about 25 percent of those morning to my fiancees dismay. (thank you high school anorexia for screwing up my whole perception on food!)

    Lo and behold! Mfp came up while i was searching calories in certain foods, and i decided right there to join up. I have been addicted since day one...and in the last week and a half i have lost close to 4 pounds, more than i ever saw before i stumbled across this site.

    On that very first day, 2 thursdays ago, I joined this group, and check in with it daily to keep myself motivated and aware that I can do it, if i just pay attention!! The biggest plus is that it helps me do it in healthy ways , because now I know that i had trained my body to loose weight the wrong way by starving it.. and it feels so much better just to eat and loose weight too!

    Anyway
    Thank you guys so much for being a virtual ear..its PRICELESS

    ooops. I need to pay attention :wink:

    I forgot to weigh-in this morning. Which doesn't surprise me because I have been telling everyone at work that it doesn't feel like a (you see, I was going to type Wednesday) Monday to me. :wink:

    As of 9:22pm...(even though I weigh in in the mornings) I am 172.3 - which is broken even to when I started this thing back in December.

    I should measure my toushy... but I gave my mom the measuring tape thing and I got another one for free somewhere but I think I gave it to someone. crapola. :wink:

    My goal is to get back down to 150, unless I start being able to work out, in which case 165 or so was a great weight for me. (I carry a lot of muscle lol)

    I know when my Granny, yeah I am from Georgia, passed away in September, it was very hard to stay focused, but lost it over the holidays, her birthday was Christmas day, so there it went and a very very short month later, I had gained the 20 pounds I had worked so hard to loose. You will be in my prayers for God to comfort you and your family in your time of grieving. Hand in there, time does numb the pain (some) and you will get back on track but until you do, we are here for you!:flowerforyou:

    Thank you so much! I have a Granny also, in South Carolina, how funny!

    I weighed in this morning at 175...so I did lose 1lb despite all the crazy eating habits this past week!

    Ok..my long term goal would be to maintain by weight between 130 -135. A realistic goal?...135 - 140.
    I want to wait and see how I feel and look before I determine my end weight. If I am healthy and in a size 8 at 150 pounds then that's fine with me. I try to be very careful about setting an actual number for the final weight but it's nice to dream of that little number, isn't it?! Plus, I have a long way to go before I am anywhere close to the end:explode: I will get there...slowly and painfully but I will.

    My mini goals are as follows:

    169 by May 1
    160 by June 1
    150 by July 1

    Here's hoping!!!!:drinker:

    My goal is 150 it does not matter how long it takes and if I need a little more after that we shall see. My mini goal is to keep loosing at least 2lbs a week. So when I go back to the doctors 2 months from now he will be shocked he told me to loose 10lbs in 3 months. I did it in 25 days. :bigsmile:

    Now that's the way to look at the glass as half full instead of half empty!! Way to go! Lost inches are definitely a feather in the cap and something to be proud of!!!
