    Holy collarbones, Batman! You are TINY, tjradd73! (I just checked out your pics! WOW!)

    I'm so proud of you for doing what so many of us are after (and so many fail at)! You rock!

    I know, right?

    But we wn't fail becuase we are here supporting eachother.... It doesn't take one time committing to do it, it takes multiple committments each day :)

    True that! :D I make a commitment to it every time I go to cook a meal and every time I decide to consciously move my body more and get some exercise. :)

    It really does help having this community/support system. The biggest mistake I made last year was taking a break from this site for a few months after I lost 76 lbs. I ended up gaining half the weight back that I lost. Needless to say I won't be doing that again. lol


    Wow, good for you for coming back! It's stories like that, that make me realize we need to support eachother and be accountable to ourselves. It is so easy to gain it back (I have lost the same weight atleast 4 times, and I won't ever again :) Good luck to you, I have faith 2012 will be a fantastic year!

    This is my year to stand at the top of Mt. Marathon - which is pathetic since the racers can get to the top and back in an hour. I will also cut my hike time off Skyline Trail. Not setting any number goals, because I always fail them.

    Oy! Standing on the top of ANY mountain is Not pathetic. A lot of us can't do that (even the small mountains lol). Take pride in your accomplishments! :)

    Lose the last 20 lbs, so I can say I lost 200 lbs and be around 10% body fat. Oh and run a 10K.

    Congrats on your loss so far!!! I know the hard work that it has taken you to come as far as you have...I have no doubt that you will reach your final goal in 2012!

    Thanks, 2011 was a banner year for me that's when I lost all of my weight so far, it's been tougher as I get smaller but it will happen one way or the other. I also want to add either tighten up or get rid of the loose skin. If it was gone, I'd be below my goal weight and looking to gain muscle. We will see on that one.

    To help my two special needs boys to learn to eat well and exercise well, too.

    Oh and my resolutions are:

    - I will get a minimum of 3 short stories published (I'm already working on 2 short stories for shared-world anthologies that are due to be published in 2012, so ideally I'd like to hit 5 instead).
    - I will rewrite my zombiepocalypse novel, this time with a main character I don't want to punch in the nose all the time, which will presumably make it better! (I have had a publisher ask for first refusal on this, so it has somewhere to go - no excuse to let it go to waste now.)
    - I will read 60 books I have never read before.
    - I will aim for a healthier diet and, when my ankles heal, get back into cycling in a big way. I want to get to a place where I'm cycling around 8K per day, 3 days per week (I know that compared to the things some of you do, that's anything but "a big way," but for me it's something realistic that I can sustain over the long term).
    - I will carry on repaying my debts.
    - I will be more patient with my little boys.
    - I will be more communicative with my husband and our friends (I can be a little insular).
    - I will complete 52 random acts of kindness this year, one for each week.
