What success story are you looking forward to next?

I'm looking forward to being under 250 (about 7lbs away), then being under 240, 230, etc. until under 200(it's been a looooonnnngggg time); I look forward to being able to complete C25K ( I start in Nov) and being able to wear sexy clothes again.:blushing:

Mine are:

To be 199 or less by christmas
Finish C25K
To shop in the normal sizes not PLUS
To weigh less than Dh
To get DH back to working out.
To get the kids to the point that they don't complain about fruit everynight at dinner

Great goals!:flowerforyou:

I am looking forward to not having a muffin top...when will it go away? haha

I am looking forward to completing my first half-marathon...running the whole time...finishing in under 2 hours, 45 minutes...this Saturday! Can't wait!

I know you'll do it too! I can't wait! wooohooo go shuntae!!!!

Short Term Goals:
1. Being at 250 pounds...I am less than 20 pounds away.
1a. Reaching this small goal by early December would be perfect!
2. Fitting into my favorite High School size 16 Jeans..My Legs fit. My butt just needs to get smaller
3. Just looking forward to more progress. I'm starting to see more definition in my body and still have lots more fat to go so just imagine what I will look like with less fat

I can't imagine myself below 200 pounds. I haven't seen a 100 number on the scale in probably 7 years. (around age 15) That is an amazing success story for me to look forward to.

Ones I've met:
Under 300
Under 290
Under 280

Coming up!
Under 270 (7 more pounds!)
Under 250 (Back to my junior year weight I think)(By new years is the hope)
Getting off my meds. Hopefully this will be happening in just a week. October 16th I have a follow up and I did my bloodwork last week. Hopefully losing 27 pounds will be enough to get me off that stupid metformin.


I just realized... 250 isn't that far away. Less than 30 pounds. I'm actually sticking to this this time. I've finally lost more than I ever have and I'm not going to let that slip.

I'm actually tearing up here... It's easy to look at small successes one by one and think little of them. Like I fit into my prom dress just recently. But seriously. I've lost TWENTY SEVEN POUNDS. That's nothing to scoff at. I'm 6 pounds away from losing 10% of my starting weight, from no longer being "Morbidly Obese" according to BMI... I don't think I truly thought I'd actually get here, much less be looking down the road with optimism and not the old attitude of "Oh wouldn't that be great if I could just do it... oh well."

Thanks for starting and keeping up with this thread, and thanks all you MFPers who have helped me out these last few months and will continue to help me out through the rest of this journey. We're all capable of doing this. Thanks for showing me that.

my next goals are
1. weighing under 12st (168lb 2 more pounds)
2. finishing the C25K program (on week 3)
3. just to get to my goal even though i was unsure of its realisim. (9 pounds)
4. Looking in the mirror and thinking ... Yep! ... OK, I'm done now

1. to get below 160 is the most immediate goal
2. to make a certain person "pea green with envy," to quote Scarlet O'hara :laugh:
3. to fit into my old clothes
