Hey Everyone,

Just had an idea. How many of you can realistically make it to your goal by Dec. 31st this year?

That is my goal. I have 23 lbs left to go. If you want to jump on the band wagon then join me. That will mean that we will all be graduating as KOPS next year at SRD.

Just put down how many lbs left you have to goal and your name.


Sherri 23 lbs I will make it this year.

That was my goal to reach goal by the end of the year but I don't think I can do it now. I will still throw my hat in the ring so I have something to aim for. I still have 44.25 pounds to goal.

I can not make it to goal this year as I need to lose 100+ but I am rooting for all of you to do it.Anything I can do to help you just let me know. I will be just as happy to see Ya{southern coming out in me} do as when I do. You do still have plenty of time til the end of the year.Would love to see some of you even be Queen.Wouldn't that be great

Well to get to goal according to the last visit to the DR. would be only 3 1/4 pounds but the other Dr. said 140 so that would be 8 1/4 pounds, Now for me personally... I wanted to get to 135 real bad!! I weighed between 120-130 in high school and 128 before I was pregnant the first time.. so if possible I would like to lose 13 1/4 pounds this year and not be as small as I was but close

So put me down for 13 1/4 this year

I know we can all do this... It is just making up our minds and hanging in on our decisions... Good thing we have such great friends to help us here... knowing someone cares makes all the difference

For those of you who will be working on making their goal by year end - I am really rootin' for you. I have too much to lose and won't make it this year but am hoping that I will by next year. My goal for this year is to be less than I was at the start of the year and hopefully by at least 25 lbs. I am working on this slowly but hopefully the weight will stay off. I wish I had been alot smarter and started on this weight loss when I only had 20 or so pounds to lose but I kept saying another 10pounds then I am going to diet...and before you know it here I am. When you ladies get to goal then you will be there to cheer us on. ...so good luck

Hi All,

Marie,

You might just make it with the way you are going. You were losing weight so well before. I know you can do this. If you aren't at goal by years end you will be very very close. Lets try to get you on that stage with us. Keep up the hard work. You are doing a great job.

Eleni,

That is okay if you don't make it. But just think how much closer you will be by years end. We all still have 6 months left. It is very slow and aggrivating process but I think we call all break through this and we will meet our goals together. Get back on that horse again eleni and start over. Remember what that poem says. Keep up that determination and you will make it. We will all be there for you cheering you on when you cross that finish line for your goal.

Christie,

Glad you are joining in also. I know you can lose that by years end. With a lot of hard work. The only thing is that if we are going to make it we have to stop ourselves from those overindulgences. Myself included. We really have to stay serious about it and really work hard. This process has slowed way down for me and I feel like I am gettting no where fast. But I am not going to give in to that. If I keep eating healthy then I am bound to lose after awhile right? If I give in and start eating junk again I will never get there. You can get to where you truly want to be and we are here to help you. By years end you will be there.

Donna,

You are going to do great. I am sure that with all of your continued effort you are going to be surprised how much you have lost in a year. Yes it is a slow process but it is happening. You are already thinner now then when you first started. So see you are making progress. Keep up the hard work and then you and eleni can graduate together. Wouldn't that be nice? I know you can do this. Keep your chin up and keep reaching for those stars. You are heading in the right direction. Keep going. We will all be there for you to cheer you on when you cross that finish line as well. I know you are going to do it.
