    The big thing I want to do once I've lost this weight is start focusing on heavy lifting again :) I also wanna buy new sports bras... the ones I have right now are super crappy!

    I am in a challenge that ends 09.03.2012 and I am not doing so well (gained 2 lbs). So I am stepping up with my exercise. I am also gonna try to complete the Jillian Michaels 30DS to reach my goal. I am going to Jamaica the end of September (Honeymoon/anniversary/vacation) and I am determined to reach the 120s. I will post my starting weight in the morning.

    Thanks for starting this group- I'm happy to join!

    SW: 189
    GW for the end of August: 184
    Major Goal #1: 174 (to be overweight, not obese)

    By the end of this August challenge, I would like my pants to fit a little looser on me!

    I want to go indoor sky diving! There has been a lot of activities that I want to do, but there are maximum weight capacities :( Did zip lining when I was 250 which was the max, and I could barely stop because I'd flyyyyyy through the trees! It so scary because I would smash into the tree because I couldn't stop. Never want a weight to prevent me from doing things I'd like to do, which has happened.
