Didn't meet my goal. 276. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all of us. We are having a second chance at health and a better life. Not to mention a pair of jeans.

Just made it to goal 199 today.

See you for Valentine's Day

Another Onederlander! Fantastic! Congrats on making your goal!

Wow, woke up this morning to pages to read and remembered oh today is checkin day. Well I too did not make my goal, but I am at the lowest weight in 14 years. And got rid of all the christmas baggage and got back on the track to MY healthy lifestyle. I dont know about you guys but this is my first year without a resolution based around my weight! Because its just my life now, and I am ready to hit the ground running for the Big V day challenge. Thanks again Bea for giving us your gift!

Final weigh in 172.8

Goal was 167..but thats ok since surgery I have lost 81.6pounds

No change this week

But no change also means no increase!!

Eating habits were a struggle over the holidays but thats behind me now -- and 2014 is here.

Time to jump back on the path to a healthy lifestyle!

Congrats to everyone who met their goal-- i am impressed with u!!!

Just reading your post & it hit me that (even though I've still got a ways to go) I am at the lowest weight I've been at in 12 years.

That's a good feeling!!

Congrats to u on your progress!!!

Looking forward to Valentines Day challenge. Didn't make goal but i will recalculate and rock the next challenge.

Final weight 236. Didn't quite reach my goal but I did lose. The holidays were difficult so use to eating like everyone else but I am learning what will make me sick and what doesn't and here it is a New Year with lots of hope and promise. Happy New Years everyone..may you have a blessed year!!

Hey everyone... A little late but today's weight 216. Didn't quite reach my goal but I'll get it next time

I have to weigh myself when I get home. I weighed yesterday and was 258, but the weather was so beautiful here in Long Beach, we went for a long walk on the beach yesterday. I need to weigh again when I get home so I'll check in with a final weight tomorrow. Happy New Year!

Beating your goal by 1 lbs? Priceless!

179.9 today. Didn't hit my goal but lived participating and down is down!

Well I didn't make it. Goal was 159 and I am stuck at 165. So, my goal rolls over to Valentines Day. I am almost 10 mos out and the honeymoon may be over. But I am not satisfied, so I will make some changes and keep plugging along.

Happy New Year!!!

Still same! Didn't make it down to 230 but can't not celebrate the weight I have lost since my sleeve on 10/21. On to valentines challenge.

Ugh! I gained this week, 210.5, only a pound but I like when the scale goes the other way. Time to get back on track and get my whole family healthier. Definitely in for the Valentines challenge and I would love to be under 200 by then.
