    Thanks Desireebutts, Yes it feels fantastic to have reached goal weight, I can not believe it, I have so much more energy and being able to put on clothes that are not too tight etc is a feeling you can not describe :love:

    8/16/10 Weigh-in: 151.0 lbs

    Still, slow progress on my weight. Almost down below 150. Can't wait for the day the scale moves down below 150 mark. Trying to incorporate a little more cardio during the day and more veggies in my diet. Hopefully that will change it up enough for me. Also, gonna try and have a mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack every day too, not been very good at this.

    Count me in! I too have a closet full of size 14's and some 12's but am currently wearing a size 16!

    Christmas goal weight: 180 or less
  • I am definitely in! I just joined this today, but that would be a perfect goal to set! My birthday is Dec 13th, so that would be a great way to keep my going all the way through the holidays! :)

    Little bit more than usual! That was a big surprise! I was really happy to be under 150 lbs finally! Hope that getting under 145 lbs comes a little bit more quickly than it has been going!

    I seem to be on target to hit my goal of 30lbs off by Christmas / NYE. I joined 26th July (I think) and have lost 12lb since then (based on weigh in this morning that I haven't put on here yet). So 12lb in 5 weeks (with 1 week of holiday in that), and 18lbs to go in 4 months. Wow, put like that I'd hope I could lose more, but I've never lost this much in such a short - and healthy - way that I'm not sure what is a realistic goal for 4 months so I'll keep it at 30lbs and readjust closer if I start to get close to my goal.

    Hope everyone is doing well!

    I gained a bit, but I know its all my fault from eating not as well as I should have yesterday at the family bbq. Hopefully its just water weight and I'll be back down soon. Live and learn and move forward....
