I wanted to put my super big super important goal out there so that way I can't back out.

Today, I was planning my trip to Florida For the end of June. My ex-husband's family lives out there and I am taking my 2 year old to see her grandparents, aunts and cousins. Here is the thing - the last time they saw me i was 272 lbs: the only person that knows i had this was my Mother-in-law: I didn't even tell my ex-husband (we are still in the middle of the divorce). As of today, I am down to 229 and my goal is to be 180 when i go out there. In 12 years that i have known them, they have never seen me less then 207 lbs (and that was after a major dieting) - they mostly know me to be at 235-250. I basically need to kick major ass because I want jaws to drop. I am not doing this for anybody BUT me and my daughter however i still want the reaction. If I end up seeing my ex-husband that would just be a plus because he cheated and left me because I was "just too fat". So I am using this as a motivator to stay on track. I have to loose 50 lbs in 5 months - is that possible?

I joined online WW today so i can track my food and make sure i am eating healthy. I am already walking 3 miles 5 days a week: started doing Biggest Looser Wii (which by the way kicked my butt) and i am going to start doing yoga 2 times a week.

So i can't back down - I need to stick to this for the next 5 months. and after that, I will only need to loose 30 to reach my goal.

wish me luck :woot:

I wish you all the luck in the world. It doesn't seem impossible to me. Keep moving and drink water and watch your cals.

Take it from another woman who was cheated on and left because of the "just to fat" reason, I understand completely how you want jaws to drop. You will have to keep me updated and let me know how it go's. Good luck!

AAHHH revinge is a great motivator for exercise.....'Just too fat', at least you can diet away your issue. There is no known cure for a$$hole-itis. Best of luck.

Good luck Stacy, you CAN do it! I'm so glad you are doing this for YOU and your daughter only-He doesn't deserve you!!

I will be cheering you on all the way to your goal. You can do it. Good luck!

You Go Girl!!!!!!!!!

Good luck!

You Go Girl Good Luck! I would do the same thing!!!!

You can do it. We're all pulling for you.

Sending all the positive vibes in the world, girl! I too was left for someone else, as I was letting myself go and got too heavy. LOL, too bad he married her and she cheated on him with 3 different guys and they are getting a divorce now and I'm happily married to a wonderful guy who has never had an issue with my weight. He didn't even want me to have the surgery and knew me both at 150 lbs and 240!

Good luck and I hope those jaws drop so loud I hear it all the way here in Jersey :-)!

YES ! It can be done! 50 lbs in 5 months!

Stay motivated and you may just hit that goal plus a few bonus pounds! You also have youth on your side.

Keep us posted.

Thank you so so so so much everybody! I really appreciate your support

I think you can pull those big numbers if you also exercise your ass off. Just keep your eye on the prize.
