I'm so excited to lose the first 20lbs! It was my "major mini goal" in the beginning of this journey. I figured if i can get to 20 that should motivate me to keep going and lose the rest. Well... here i am! I lost 20 and now i'm ready to lose more!

I'm very excited about it and i'm looking forward to continuing this journey.

For now my future goals are 10lbs at a time... then before i know i should be at my goal weight!

So... yes i wanted to brag a little and share my happiness but I also want to reassure all of those that are just starting... that it's just a matter of doing it.

I've procrastinated so long with losing weight... and i've gone through so many diets only to yo-yo with my weight and end up gaining 5lbs after. So, this is it. I'm doing it and i want to do it right!

Good luck to all of you out there!

    congratulations! Keep it up. My major mini goal is to get to 165, I'm now at 169 and cannot wait to get those 4 pounds off!! I hope I can do it by the 11th when I go to Paris. *fingers crossed*

    Having been where you r, it took losing 20 pounds for it to seem real for me! That is such a significant amount! That's when I began buying new size clothing and just wanting to look in the mirror for a change! Definite accomplishment and kudos to you for sticking with it. It is great that you are continually motivated and seeking to continue with your weight loss and meet each goal you have set for yourself! We will cheer you on! Keep it up!

    Great mindset! Challenges seem more within reach when we break them down into smaller, more digestable chunks. Good job, girl. We'll be right here with you, through the next 10 lbs and beyond. :wink:
