Going past the goal, but for a good reason
Sometime in the next day or two, I will reach a goal that was once unthinkable, but eventually became the "ultimate goal". I will be under 200 pounds for the first time since my early-twenties. On Thursday morning, I weighed in at 200.4 pounds, and I had a great day with diet and a 5K. If I don't cross the finish line…

Creating new goals - how far is too far?
First of all, let me admit that I am now happy with my weight. As of this morning, I'm at 201.3 pounds. If I stopped right now, I would live my life happy and healthy. But I'm still very goal-oriented. I started off at 266 pounds, and wanted to get to 235 pounds. I thought it would take me a long time to get there, but in…

I refuse to sit around and be depressed
First of all, let me say thanks to everyone - I posted a topic on Friday called "I got dumped last night" (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/684567-i-got-dumped-last-night) and a bunch of you came to support me and it was awesome. Some of you sent me messages (too many to reply to all of you, so accept my gratitude),…

I got dumped last night
Don't worry, this isn't a self-pity post. Maybe just a little....but not too heavy on it. She was the girl I crushed on in high school, and we reconnected last year. We decided to stay away from each other while her divorce was finalizing, and stayed in touch with each other very sparingly. The little time I got to speak…

Must get to 199....
I set several goals in this weight-loss venture, and have beat them all....so far Losing 20, 25, 30, 40, 50 pounds have all been met. This one will be the toughest. I vowed about 6 weeks ago that I would be under 200 pounds before September 1st - the first Saturday of college football season. I've been stuck in the 52-55…

The new goal - 17 pounds in 11 weeks
When I started this whole weight-loss adventure, I set my goal at 20 pounds and gave myself just under three months to accomplish it. I buried that goal MUCH faster than expected, and blew past 25 pounds, then 30, then 40. The weight loss slowed down as my body became more adjusted to my new lifestyle. When I first started…

45 pounds and counting.....
Let's see how brief I can make this success story.... About two years ago I was hired to run the website for a TV station, and do a little sportswriting. Prior to that, I had always been employed by companies that had me on the move and therefore getting plenty of exercise. But now I found myself in front of a computer all…
