Well today is my birthday and the goal I set for myself 5 months ago was not met. I wanted to lose 50 pounds by my birthday and I only lost 42. I am proud, yet disappointed. I am hoping to lose the 8 I should have lost by the time I start back teaching school on Aug 25. 8 pounds in 3 weeks. Maybe if I walk 2 miles a day faithfully. I still hope to have lost a total of 75 pounds by my cruise in mid Nov!!! Next year for my birthday I will be 150 pounds or less and proud!!!

    Happy Birthday!! Don't worry about the goal they are meant to be changed what's important is that you got close. You lost 42 pounds instead of gaining.

    Happy Healthy Birthday to you.

    :flowerforyou: Happy Birthday and Congratulations on the 42 pounds being GONE!!! Remember that you probably gained some muscle too, plus you are probably feeling better.

    Keep making small goals, and enjoy the journey you are on (and the cruise:laugh: )

    Happy Birthday!! :flowerforyou:

    42lbs is a fantastic achievement.... concentrate on what you have accomplished and give yourself the praise you are due!! That's nearly 3 and a half stone that you have melted away with your hard work and determination...... i am in awe!

    Well done :happy:
