NYC_PAULA 194 Posted April 1, 2019 Starting Weight 234 (I only weigh myself once a week, on Thursdays so we'll go with last week's weigh in) Goal: Lose 10 pounds (I have a larger goal of getting to 200 by the end of June so 10-12 pounds a month for the next three months is what I'm pushing myself towards) Surgery: Sleeve on 2/7 1. I'm proud that I am taking an 8-week sketch comedy writing course that just started this weekend. I freelance outside of work for fun and a class holds me accountable for working on passion projects. 5 Orchids&Dragons, Liz The New Me, GreenTealael and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
