    POSITIVE comments from my family, who typically like to spend christmas making me feel like a whale >:[

    you took the words right out of my mouth

    ^^THIS! My mom has had weight issues her whole life, but she feels it's OK to mention how much weight I've gained and slowly shake her head. I won't see them again until Christmas so I want to surprise them and then have to take back any clothes they bought me for smaller sizes... :laugh:

    To weigh less than my husband.. but that kind of involves a scale and isn't really a non-scale victory.

    I have 2 goals and thankfully I of them was realized this weekend already.

    1) I agree with people not recognizing you being an awesome motivator but I had a slightly different take when that actually happened this weekend while in the city doing some labor day sale shopping. I was walking through the outdoor mall with my best friend when my wife and his wife rejoined us. When we got a minute alone together she told me that she felt silly because she didn't even recognize me in the crowd because I looked so different. She said she recognized my friend because he has looked to same since she has known him but was used to looking for a bigger sized guy. Definitely made my weekend. When someone who you are around everyday notices, it feels like a double win.

    2) Just to be able to play sports like I used when I was in high school and college without my weight holding me back. My town always holds a Holiday Classic Basketball tournament right before Christmas and I want to be able to feel good about keeping up with guys 1/3 my age.

    I would like to have the energy to do another Triathlon like I did in 2012 (weighed 185 at that point and had been going to the gym EVERY morning for 45 min to 1 hour). Then I had a workout buddy, but not anymore. Now I have you all as workout buddies!

    Aiming to feel good enough and have enough energy for the next Triathlon which is in June 2015, because right now I have NONE.

    My goals are

    1) I want to be able to fit in my favorite clothes again without them feeling tight
    2) I want to sew new clothes without having to fit and cut a bigger size.

    I love to sew and I love clothes but I've held off on making any clothes for a while because I don't want to face my heavy-self measurements. I want to get back to where I was so I can feel good about making things for my body again.

    I want to lose enough weight in my face that I am not ashamed to take photos around christmas. I don't want to feel like I need to hide behind someone to get my picture taken!

    I want to look good on my cruise! We are going the week before Christmas. Added bonus will be my aunt noticing I lost weight. She always seems to notice when I gain. Grrrrr

    I think I'm at the point of settling for just not putting on any more weight. Every attempt I make I end up 3 kgs heavier after trying to lose it. One has to count other blessings in life at these times :cry:

    I want a breast reduction,(medically necessary, back pain) and if I do it in this calender year, it would be zero out of pocket cost (I've already meet my deductible) however, I won't do it until I am closer to my goal weight in case the girls shrink drastically on their own.

    My NSV is to be able to get the breast reduction done in December.
