Why not reach for the stars?

Originally my goal was to reach 158lbs, but I got to thinking. If I can go that far, why not go all the way and make it to an official "healthy" weight for my height. I changed my goal to 142lbs, because I figure why not dream big! At my height of 5'3, 142lbs would bring my BMI to right around 25. Of course this is easy to say now, pre op! lol But yay, here's to higher goals :)

Go for it! I find it easier to set smaller goals, but of course have my main goal in mind. You can do anything you set your mind to!!

Like I always say, this whole process takes a lot of "moxie" (it's okay if you're a young 'un to look up that word). If you've got it, the sky is the limit to how far you can take this! Sure, there may be road blocks along the way, but moxie will get you through!

im 286 right now im trying to get to 130 my nut says i probably wont get there she says expect to lose 100 lbs but if i dont have high standards for my self who else will
