No worries. Look like you've already met your goal as well...and we still have nearly a week to go! Congrats!!!

Just weighed myself (as my surgery was on a Saturday so this is my normal weigh in day) and I am now 180lb!! Can't believe it - my target for New Year was 182 so I have surpassed that!

Thank you Bea and everyone else on this thread for keeping me going - not sure I would have been so successful without this thread keeping me focused!

Oooh...sounds like fun. Have a GREAT time!

Still 200. Come on onderland!

Half a pound til goal! I think I'm going to make it!

Back to real life today after vacation, weight is 220. Slow & steady wins the race! Won't make my goal by New Years, but it was based on my weight loss pace at Thanksgiving, which was 1 pound a day & only 2 weeks post op. I'll make a more realistic goal for the Valentines challenge.

Dang! Overdid it this week and now won't make my New Year's goal. However, when I took a look at Christmas photos from this year as compared to last I realize I've made significant positive changes in my life. So...I'm back on board now and looking forward to the next challenge...the one that will (hopefully!) take me into Onderland!

Happy New Year to all!!!
