Default I am a failure! Thanks anyway!
I AM a failure and I am totally fine with that! I made a 4th of July goal and I didn't make it. I am shy of the goal by one pound. I am so happy that I made it this far. I would have liked to make the goal. No, I am not losing weight at the rate I would like BUT at least I am losing weight. I am soooo satisfied with my progress. I have finally come to grips with the fact that this is a lifestyle change for me and not a QUICK, FAD, EASY solution. I am loving the process. I know hard times might come but I have come soooo far. Matter of fact, I havent made ANY of my "holiday" goals....I am usually short of goal by a pound or two. And all those times I have not ridiculed or belittled myself. I know I have come farther than I would have if I sat around and grazed like a cow.

I work out 4-6 times a week and I move my body. I know I could do more to lose at a quicker rate but I am not one for depriving myself. I calorie count and this is working for me. I stopped trying to TRICK my body into losing weight and did what I know is natural. I eat food and work out.

I just want to say thanks to you all for being here...I appreciate the support and encouragement. Even when I don't post, I come and read other's posts and I feel inspired!

I hate to quibble, but I can't agree that you are a failure. You have failed at a very specific goal, but learned and progressed so much while trying to achieve that specific goal. So, I'm going to have to argue that you are a success. And, y'know, I was my college's debate captain, so you should probably just agree with me and let it go at that.

That's a great attitude! Being a pound or two shy of your goal...no biggie. That fact that you even came THAT close is completely awesome!

Ok, you got me, too. I was browsing the titles to see where I wanted to go first and saw your title. I thought "Oh my! She needs my help!!!" (Say that in your best Superman voice) Then I read on and thought... nope, she doesn't need my help.... she's here to help me!! Great inspiration!

Good job on your failure/success! 69 pounds is awesome!

I have never met a timed goal in all the three years I've been at this. Guess what? My labs are good, my BP is good ... and I'm slim! Now!

YAY! I am so inspired by you! I wish I could come within a pound of my goals, but have yet to see that happen. Even setting goals would be nice. But its people like you that keep inspiring me to keep going. Thanks! And keep up the good work!

Hey, at least you're brave enough to put your goals out there. I'm afraid to make mini-goals. I'm doing the best I can and don't want to feel badly about it if I don't make it.

You're doing great and should be very proud.
