Good Morning, I am new here. My story is the same as a lot of yours. I have put 65 lbs. on since last May. It's way past time to get a hold on this weight. It is starting to take a toll on my health and my daily outlook on life.
My first mini goal would be to get back into some of my size 18 jeans!! That would be great. I am in 24's now and they are starting to get tight! Great to be here!!!!!!!

Sue!

Glad to have you with us!

May I suggest that you make your first mini goal a little bit smaller? The gaps between sizes when you get past 16 are much bigger than the smaller sizes. Where you can lose 10 pounds and drop a size in the smaller sizes, it sometimes took me 20-40 pounds to drop a size in the 20s. It might happen super-fast, but maybe you can make your first goal to get to size 20? That way you won't feel sad if it takes a long time...but you'll be pleasantly surprised if you make it to 18 before you expected!

What will you do to reward yourself when you get to your goal?

Laurie, thanks for the advice. That makes sense. You have lost a ton of weight!!! Way to go!!!!!!!!!
