I started the group hoping to lose 40-45lbs by Christmas. (My overall goal is 120lbs). I weighed in for the first time--since I started on July 27th, 2012--on August 20th, 2012 morning time at my drs. I weighed in at 264 which put me at a 13lb loss in 25 days! Then I purchased my own scale yesterday and stepped on it in the store to test it...wait til I tell you what it said! I got home so excited. hoping it wasn't an error. I placed it on my floor, made sure the dial was at zero-same number i got in the store! Okay-super excited now so I picked up my toddler son who I know hasnt gained much weight if any really since his last dr apt and tested his weight for accuracy-it was on point! So, I placed the scale in my room, where I will be doing all my weigh ins from now on, same spot. Stepped on and looked at that glorious 260! I weighed 260lbs when I first delivered my son 18months ago. So excited, because that also means either the drs scale (digital) is off, or I really lost another 4lbs in 3 days! That put my total loss at 20lbs since I started and puts me sooo close to the 30lbs by Christmas that I am definitely going for my personal goal of 40-45lbs by Christmas if not more! I don't really see a difference in myself with a 20lb loss, but I think it is going to take a LOT before I start to see myself for the beautiful person I know I am.


edit: i did NOT per say START the group LOL..i JOINED the group I should've said
