Alright December Sleevers, I'm hoping that this title brings more people in so we can follow and encourage each other through our journeys.

I am 40. I'm 5'4" and about 308 right now. I'd like to get to a healthy BMI which would be around 145. I'm hoping for a December 4th or 5th date with Dr. William Johnson.

Everyone introduce yourselves!

Oh my gosh! That is 82 people so far with dates (or possible dates) in December!

I know there are more who haven't joined us, but can't believe that there are 82 who have!!

so how long is everyone taking off?

My doctor is keeping me off of work for 4 weeks. I have a desk job and plan on using this time to give my body time to heal and to get myself acclimated to my new way of eating.

I'm a first grade teacher and am HOPING that Christmas break (2 weeks) will be enough time to recover because I can't stand thought of having to do lesson plans for an extended period of time
