[Caledon]

I'm only 20 pounds away from my goal. I know it is going to take a while to lose those 20 pounds and the last 5 pounds are going to be the hardest. I can finally see the end in sight. I'm a "I want it now" type of person and, although I have to be patient and wait, I really WANT IT NOW.

I've lost 61 pounds to date and have been on WW for about 1 year. Losing weight has become my number on priority and I'm very serious about it. I figure I have to be or it would not happen. Once I meet goal will I feel different, maybe lost because I'm not working towards something. I think I could subsitute exercise and work towards a walking goal.

I get a fair bit of encouragement from my friends and family. Once I reach goal that will stop and I'll miss it. Someone I met at WW told me they felt like this and I thought how strange it was, but now I'm there. How do others feel when their goal weight is within sight or you have reached it?

Caledon, I am a mother of four and have been in WW since this January. I started at 209 and have lost 42 pounds, so now I am at 167-I have 17 pounds to get to goal. This last week was the first week that the scale didn't budge-in either direction! Weight loss is always on my mind and I'm loving the compliments that it brings me-I also love looking decent in clothing again. I feel like you-I want the rest to come off quickly. I am down to eating 21 points a day and exercising almost everyday. Just think of the maintenance (it would be devastating to gain it back) so we have to make life changes and good food choices. Let's keep each other posted and for support-we can do it!
