I honestly hope I never see that number again! My CW is 208.1 pounds. I have reached my first goal of 20 pounds. My next goal is to make it back into Onderland.. a place I have not been since I've had my daughter. I need to be motivated and pushed by my peers!!

    Excellent job. Best way to approach it as small goals they seem more realistic.

    One thing I have to correct you one. You can't be motivated or pushed by anyone else. For this to work it has to be all about you. What I mean by that is you have to find a totally selfish why something that's going to push you. That why can't be for your significant other it can't be for your kids it has to be all about you. By it being about you all your other whys are going to take care of themselves. Yes this is a great support mechanism, but you have to find that personal why something that's going to push you no matter what happens. The most important thing is for you to believe in yourself and that you can do it. Most importantly you have to realize your worth it.

    My starting weight was 288 set a crazy goal F-250 thought I would have never done it. Hit that one. Reset my goal to 2:30 something I weighed when I was in high school. Hit that one reset the goal of 220. I hit that one and I was totally satisfied decided to go into maintenance totally screwed that up my current weight is 208 before I figured out maintenance. I've been maintaining for proximally 8 months
