I'm really excited today and I had had had to come share it here.

The most weight I've ever lost at a time is 14 pounds. 15 pounds seemed so impossible to me when I started. Sure I can lose a few pounds, but I always end up going back to my old ways by 14 pounds down.

Well, today, I made 15.8 pounds. I know that's not a lot in the grand scheme of things, but it's more than I've ever done and it's huge for me

YAY!

What are the intimidating goals for you guys?

That is seriously awesome. The most I've ever lost is 10 lbs, so I am celebrating with you, and hope to catch up to you soon!

woo hoo! i think my most is actually like 5 lbs. for some reason i can nvr get to ten or 15...but im trying now!

This is an incredible feat and nothing to be dismissed at all. I know you are in the zone now. Keep up your work and visit often.

Woohoo! You go! I know exactly how you feel. I am coming up on my lowest weight for the last several years - don't even know how long it has been since I have been there.

You are rolling now! Just keep moving!

Wanna

Congratulations on your loss, it is great!

Way to go, Gretchy! And the best part? This is just the beginning!

Go, Gretchy, go !

Good job! 15 pounds is a LOT--next time you're in the grocery store, go over and pick up a 15 pound bag of potatoes. It's HEAVY. Congratulations on reaching this milestone!

That is really cool! I am so glad that you were able to beat your previous record!!! Great job

My intimidating goal? 200 lbs lost. I can totally lose 100 but 200? It seems... like a footballer players worth to me lol!

congratulations! and it is a lot. I buy my dogfood in 15lb sacks, and I wouldn't want to carry one of those around all day! wtg"

Congratulations on getting past a hurdle!!! Now you know that you CAN do it. You've lost 15 lbs. And you know what ? There is nothing on this earth that can stop you from doing it again - and again - and again. All the way to your FINAL goal. You ARE a loser!

That is awesome! Good for you. My intimidating goal is 20 pounds. Just prior to getting to that point, it seems to be where I get stuck. So, for now, I'm just trying to get to 10!!

My goals is to lose 200# give-or-take but more intimidating to me is the thought of weighing 179. I haven't seen a "17-" on a scale since I was, I don't know, 11 maybe? Possibly for a few weeks when I was 18 but I don't remember it well.

I used to be just floored by thinking, "I need to lose AT LEAST 110 pounds!!" It seems impossible, but I just chose to ignore it and focus on day by day, week by week living/eating/moving. I had to.

Now, I have a real mental block when it comes to getting under 200, but I am going to do it anyway. I'll let my brain catch up later if I have to.

Mine is looking at losing 234 lbs total. Over the last few years I've dabbled down to the 280's but no lower. I'm trying to concentrate on 250's. I haven't been below 280 in more than fifteen years and under 200 in 22 years (coincides with my first wedding anniversary).
