Reached My First Goal Weight!

Hi Everyone , I just wanted to report that I am doing GREAT! I went to Weigh****chers tonight and weighed in at 168 pounds, which is the initial goal weight I set for myself. When I saw it getting nearer and more attainable, I changed my profile to reflect my next goal of 156 pounds. I have been updating my profile every week and adding new pictures here and there, but this is a real milestone for me. I don't remember the last time I weighed 160-anything, and it's really the only time I can think of that I set a weight goal and achieved it. Yeah, I've lost weight before, as I know we all have, but this is the only time I feel confident in my abilities to reach my goals and maintain a healthy weight. Technically, I am not obese anymore; I am overweight, and I can't tell you how happy I am to be overweight - lol. And... I actually have a boyfriend now - one that I don't feel like I'm just settling for because I can't get any better, and he actually thinks I am attractive, and for once in my life I'm starting to see it myself. My intention is not to brag, but rather to share my happiness and success thus far and show that it is possible to get to where we want to be. And I want to thank all of you who have supported me the entire time I've been visiting this web site - especially Marge, Candy, Deb, Ruth, Sip, and Soos... you've been great friends and have all worked so hard yourselves!! Thanks.... Take Care, Tanja

Hi Tanja, Let me one of the first to say GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!! You are doing so wonderful. You are, or should be, a real inspiration for everyone. I am very happy for you and your new life. You have worked hard for what you have and should be very proud of yourself, I know I am proud of you. I soon will have new pictures up on my profile too. I will let you know when they are posted.
