Challenge: New Year's Day 2013

[It's all new 453]

I like it - I'm in!

May 3' date=' 2012 - 255

Day of surgery, May 10 - 245

CW 169.9 height 5'6"

New Year's goal : 152

Let's do it![/quote']

SW 169.9

CW 157

I didn't realize when I set this goal that my Thanksgiving goal was 157. It is Thanksgiving and I came in at exactly 157! Given my weight today I think my New Year's goal isn't ambitious enough.

Initial goal - 152

Revised goal - 148.

Who knows, but I can try!!

(Okay' date=' so typing the numbers out was extremely humiliating- so much so that I cried. Am I alone in how ashamed I am? This is an awful feeling- especially when so many others are so very small in comparison! It feels hopeless!)[/quote']

Don't be ashamed of the numbers. They should no longer define the beautiful person you are. I share the same starting weight. I was 489 on 10/26/2011 and now I am down to 396. My New Year's goal weight is 365. So we are very similar with our weight loss, I am 9 weeks post op. We can do this just stay focused!!

You're right- we -can- do this! It's going to be harder than hell, but it's going to be SO DAMN WORTH IT!

I know everyone has different motivation, so whatever yours may be, put it EVERYWHERE! Surround yourself with it! I just started doing this in the last 48hrs. then a friend of mine stopped by with his 3 month old granddaughter and it was like something inside of me was reignited!

Thanks for the words of encouragement, my friend! If you need me, I'm here!
