If I did it, anyone can - and this means you!!!! 9/8/11 - I'm in the "Overweight" range now and planning to be "Normal" by the end of 2011. That will be a first, and I'm going to make it!.

I'm still eating clean-ish and much better for it. 200 pounds 1/10/11 - I've been sick for weeks, but I'm eating clean and doing yoga. Those two things have been helping me lose weight. I'm getting ready to walk over the bridge again, and I am going to beat my time from last year! 7/30/10 - I am stagnant in my weight loss, so I am going to focus on something else for the month of August.

I'm hoping for great results by August 31 - Wish me luck! 05/22/10 - May 15 was the end of a mini challenge I gave myself. I wanted to weigh 229. I did not come close, as today�s weight is 238.6.

I want to be 227 by then which equals 5% of my current body weight gone. �Get me out of 230-ville� I tell myself. 02/21/10 - My new mini-goal is 229 by May 15. 2010. I was 2 pounds short of my last mini-goal, but I feel very confident that I will make this one. 12/06/09 - I have set a mini-goal to weigh 239 by Feb 20, 2010.
