View Full Version : Reached My First Weightloss Goal Today!!!
It's Day 42 for me, and I lost 20 pounds as of today! I am SOOOO excited because this was my first small goal. I've never stuck on a 'diet' long enough to lose more than 20 lbs.
My next small goal is when I hit 220 lbs (27lbs to lose) because that's what I was when Pete and I got married. The next goal after than will be 200 lbs because that's the lowest weight I've been since Grade 9.
I'm totally over the moon because I actually KNOW I'm going to make these goals for the first time in my life! I've never known what it's like to fit in 'average' clothing size, but hopefully in a year or less I won't have to wear a plus-size ever again!

CONGRATS!!! We are fairly close in our journey's. I am 60 days 100% today. Yeah! My weigh day is tommorow, but I don't think I have lost much since my last weigh day. We will both make our goals!

YAY FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was thrilled to lose two pounds last week after not losing for a while. I guess everyone's goal is personal, and a loss of any amount is most certainly a gain ... in self-confidence, in health, etc!

Thanks everyone! It's so nice to have a place where you can share your ups and downs with people going through similar stuff.

I will do that soon...thanks for reminding me. I think I'll post a pic at 60 Days..then there should be a more noticable difference. On a large person (at least me) 20 lbs doesn't show much. I can see my face is thinner, and my pants fit looser.

Well Sounds like your doing pretty good. 20 lbs is alot too. Just stay with it and it will all come off and you will be nice and slim. I am working at it myself and have along way to go. But like you, I know I will get there. Doug in Calif...... :D :) :eek:

Way to go Shan! You did this because this is not a diet but better way to eat. You are right "diets" don't work. Good job!

Wow, congratulations Shan :)
You are amazing. AND I want to tell you I think you are absolutely beautiful. I can't imagine how much more glowy and radiant you look after all this raw time.
What an inspiration to us all !!
I'm feeling so much LOVE.... I feel like I could cry... in a good...really good way. Thank you.
Sunshine9, thanks for thinking I look beautiful. I'm a non-practicing esthetician... haha. I know how to put my makeup on well....lol.... (I'm also an amateur actress and have always been able to pose well) but I appreciate the compliment. I should have started with a makeup-free before face shot and continued on that way so we'd all be able to see the 'true' difference. Oh well.

People like you are an inspiration to newbies and I am glad you have reached your first goal already after just a few weeks!
all the best,
