  • Seeing as it's January first, I thought we could share and reflect on some of the things we accomplished in 2012. It can be both weight related or not. Whatever you feel like sharing!

    I personally, lost 14 pounds. I started my weight loss journey in November though, so I feel really great about it. It's only going to keep going down too since I didn't really gain anything over the holidays. I feel great about it.

    The second thing I accomplished was I finally started my business degree. I go to school full time and work a full time job 8-5, so I feel really proud that I can accomplish so much all in unison. It makes me feel like a stronger person.

    Thanks for listening, now let's hear yours!

  • hmmm... my only big accomplishment this year is that i moved out to Tokyo and got a new job all on my own. I only started my weight-loss at the end of the year, so I don't think it should be counted as an "accomplishment" since it was just starting
