I'm a US size 12 and just feel really...big. I thought my goal was going to be 140 but its become obvious that I wont be satisfied with that. My real goal is not a weight anyway, I'd like to be a US size 8.
For some reason I'm super resistant to the idea of exercise. lol. I know that i need to do it, I'm just not...doing it. So until i get off my butt and get moving, i expect my weight to drop slowly through calorie counting.
I put my goal at 120 and I'm 139 now and I still know I need to lose more I'm gonna keep it at 120 but once I get there in pretty sure I'll be moving it down to 105-110
As far as exercise goes, I've been doing an interval workout on the elliptical for about 45 minutes while I play a video game. It's distracting and I'm sweating by the end! It seems to help with the weight loss, although when I first started working out I hit a huge stall!

Wow, that takes talent. I could not do that the same time. Did that take some getting used to? I just think I'd end up falling forward somehow, hah.
TOM is on its way some I'm still at 191.8 for now, I hope I have a whoosh after it's over!

yes, the video games while on the elliptical did take a little getting used to! When I started doing it I was a little.. wobbly at times, but you get used to it, and now I have no problem with it at all, and it's so distracting too. It would be way harder to do 45 minutes without the distraction of the video games that's for sure!
DrivenByAmbition - I have 30 pounds left to lose, but I felt compelled to post because our starting weights and current weights are so similar.
It is strange to think that I am beyond the lower half of my weight loss journey. I "only" have 30 pounds left to lose but I know it will be much more difficult than the first 50 has been. I am already smaller than I have ever been as an adult, so this next year will be new territory and I hope I can maintain my motivation through it all.
It's awesome to see so many of you so close to your goals!

You are almost 20 something to go. Welcome You've done great so far! I seem to derail myself when I put time frames on things, so this is a new theory for me. Just let myself lose the way I lose, I will get to goal when I get to goal.

Good ole TOM. Mine was rather cruel to me this time around. Didn't get my woosh until day 4, when it's usually Day 3
Yeah, I have trouble doing more than one thing at once. I was that girl in band who could keep in rhythm, but couldn't if I was trying to tap my foot. haha. Some people can do that, no problem, to stay on beat. Not me!
Going to have to step it up. My eating has been great.
