You are doing a great job. Keep up the good work!

Doing great. Just been really busy with finals. =(

There's nothing wrong with revising your goals! I've got mine at 150 pounds, because even though that may be a bit high for me, I want to just stop and re-assess. For one thing, with the issue that I am not young and my skin may not shrink down as much as I could wish, I may find I am happy there. Or I may want to simply work at gaining muscle as opposed to losing more weight. Or I may find that I still want to go further down. I just can't know until I am much, much closer to end goal than I am now. So my shorter range goal that I hope to nail this year is getting below the 200 pound mark. At which point I may take a little maintenance break for a month or so.

You are lucky if you can pack on muscle easily, that's only going to help! And yes, you may well be happy with your physique at a higher weight than you originally thought!

I can see someone is kicking some major poundage -- you go girl!

Back on track girl!

If you haven't already, write down your goals and look at them daily. Keep thinking about the positives of eating healthy and how much better you feel. It's easy to slip back into old habits and probably always will be. The thing that I find helps is if you have a slip, just get up the next day and start plugging away at eating healthier. Exercise too.

Make a commitment to yourself... even if it's a day at a time or an hour at a time. There are plenty of times I don't want to exercise. But mostly, I just grit my teeth and get it done somehow anyway. And I feel better once I have!

You've come so far, don't stop now!

Lil - focus on how fantastic it is going to be slipping into small jeans - look how far you have come!!!! YOU CAN DO THIS!

you can get through this lilly. have you written down your goals? thought about why you are eating? try writing in a journal or reaching out as much as possible. remember you are worth it.

FWIW, you didn't technically kill that thread... in the thread-killing sense.
