Mini-Goal Still A Long Way To Go

I started my weight loss about six weeks ago. I've had some rough days, but I've tried to log everything and do exercise. I started really using MFP on 11-1-11 at 281.6. My mini goal was to be in the 260's by 12-24-11. I didn't want to set it too high and miss it because I was afraid I'd get discouraged. Today I weighed in at 268.1, and I'm really excited. Obviously I still have a long way to go, but I'm thrilled that I made the goal, and can't wait to see what I can do by the 24th! I went really hardcore on my diet this week, logging food before it was allowed to go to my mouth, but still had some things that aren't necessarily diet food. Yeah, sorry, I'm done ranting now.
