Default Accomplished my secret goal!
At the end of November, I made a secret goal (almost secret to myself) to get to 235 by the end of the year. It was a secret goal because I don't think that timed goals are a great idea for me, if I had gotten to 236, that would have also been great, but I would have felt like a failure, etc.

So it was more, "I'm going to shoot for 235, I think I can do it, if I do, it would be awesome, but if not, oh well."

I was at 235 last week---but with Christmas, going out of town, etc, I was concered about a slight gain. I did my best--and I won! 232.9! Woohoo! Plus, losing two pounds over Christmas is amazing to me!

It's good to go into the New Year with confidence!

Excellent work, paris 81. Especially losing weight over this festive season, fraught with mince pies!

YAY FOR YOU - not only did you meet your mini-goal, you surpassed it AND ahead of schedule AND over the holidays - I don't think it could be any better!

Thanks for sharing - success breeds success - this victory will propel you towards your next mini-goal with renewed confidence and determination - you know you can do it 'cause you already have - how great is that?!

Keep up the good work - you're that much closer to your goal and we'll all be here to cheer you on!
