Don't gators eat tigers in the wild?

Congratulations on your many victories!  You must be so proud and happy!

I think one of the hardest things for me is to be proud and happy about my weight loss--I keep thinking about how much more I have to go.  I am working on seeing and celebrating my successes instead of demoaning what I still want to do.  There is a lot of internal dialogue and pep talks going on, lol.

I understand- I find myself answering compliments with "I'm half way there"  then I realized I'm more than halfway there.  I'm trying to look at 10 pounds at a time so it doesn't seem impossible and it really helps!

That is good--select short goals and be happy with each milestone.  I have to try that.  I was inspired by Biggest Loser to calculate total % of weight loss.  I am 39% smaller than I used to be.  That is something that should be celebrated. 

"LIKE"

were the same weight! im 5'4 and want to have a goal reach of being 130 lbs but now im wondering if that is realistic, my weight loss has slowed back in my late 6mos.. im still losing but really slow. and there are times where i will gain a pound (water weight I hope) lol but Im 8 mos out and dealing with the same obstacle you're. I often wonder if I got my tummy tuck now if that would make a big difference? but kaiser said i have to wait another 10 mos before i can have the tuck because were still losing. please add me as a friend! would love to keep tabs on people that are on the same path as me !

I sent a friend request. It is hard to pick a weight. I have been advised just to listen to my body and it will naturally select the right weight for you--but when I have done that in the pass, it select 250 lbs, lol. I don't trust it!

I'm not sure about who eats who in the wild but I know Tigers eat gators in Baton Rouge. You have to pull for us over the dreadful Bama Tide in the BCS!  But the good part is it is all SEC.  Have a great Christmas!
