A little late to the game but I'd love to play.

1. Before pic attached, starting weight: 182 lbs

2. Goals for January are to be more on top of my vitamin and water intake. I'm also committed to dedicating this month to personal fitness. I have my personal trainer and a month of yoga all set up already

3. I have so many goals for 2018....

4. I'll have to think about this one. I'm not sure what my proudest 2018 moment was.

OK, I'm in! Posting a bit late as I've been traveling. Here's my stats:

I'm 4.5 mo postop bypass and my current weight is 235; down from 321. I'm losing more slowly now and reverting to some bad habits.

I've been doing well with my Water goals and exercise goals. My goals for this challenge are to cut out refined sugars and carbohydrates, stop snacking constantly and get back to defined keto meals and IF.

Pic coming soon...

I'm updating this post with my full body photo. At this time I'd also like to update my January goals to include buying a full-length mirror for my house! I've got to stop these selfies in public bathrooms!

Alright ... I'm back in town and officially starting today

Weighed this morning -137.2. Not bad considering minibreak shenanigans

January Goals - Protein, hydration & vitamins

2019 Goals - Keep my weight at 140 or lower, plastics in the fall

Proudest Moment 2018

Wearing outfits I NEVER thought I'd be able to pull off. Being able to feel sexy, confident and professional is AMAZING. I finally look like the person I've always thought I was inside my head. This one is probably my favorite.

@GreenTealael, you look as glam as h*ll in that Pompeii video!

How do you manage?

I feel like every vacay photo of me has my bag hanging off me awkwardly, I'm sunburned and my hair is frizzy!

You all rock and are gorgeous! Love the piccys!!! Keep em coming!!

@sillykitty I'd cut a bi*ch for that outfit! It looks FABULOUS on you!

Proudest moment 2018 was working on my marriage and losing 50 pounds. Now I gotta get back on track.

I have a better pic, but I can't get it to upload. This pic was Dec 2017. I was 230.

My proudest moment of 2018 came in December and it was a culmination of all the hard work I've done this year. I believe the clarity of mind from healthy eating, the strong body from exercising, and my improved self esteem from having a smaller body all helped me succeed this year. On the 28th, I stayed up for an all night brain storming session and at the end of it I had an outline for my 1st business plan. I'm starting my own business and I'm going to be a CEO people! But I have to say one of the best parts was excitedly telling my husband about it the following morning and getting 100% support from him about my idea, my plan and the direction I want to take my life. That was a gift and the best accomplishment of 2018.

But I don't have photo evidence of that one, just a scribbled business plan on the back of my grocery list so here's another one! See this huge container of popcorn? I did not eat one single kernel! How's that for willpower!

Congrats on CEO!

Popcorn is my weakness. Fantastic willpower.

Congrats!!! Popcorn is evil. (don't ask how I know). Way to stick the landing, Boss!

Drop dead gorgeous outfit and killer heels. You and @GreenTealael are the posh spice to my sporty spice. (Not a fan of the band)

# proudest 2018 moment

I am emotional posting this.

I lost my mom to cancer 2013. My surgery was 2014. She never got to see me healthy. 1st goal was to do a 5K in her memory. I turned 50 in 2018. I completed two bucket list half marathons. Race to robie creek and zeitgeist.

My proudest moment is enjoying my grandchildren and keep up with them. My mother never got to see how beautiful they are.

Crying into my Instant coffee...

Proudest moment in 2018 - hmmm more than one I'm afraid

When the physician's assistant said I had 'little legs' when she gave me a shot in my knee - I didn't register a word she said after that!

When I had 'thigh gap'.....

When I fit into size 10 jeans, I came busting out of the fitting room and shouted it out right there in Macy's!

4. Proudest 2018 moment was getting under 230 lbs - I hit 227 shortly before Christmas. My highest weight was 311 so I've come a really long way, and yet still have a long way to go.
