Can I join in? I want to lose 90 pounds this year... with a goal of 50 gone by cruise date of Feb 23rd. I just started Cambridge on Monday. The cruise will be a great motivator to get at least 50 gone by the end of Feb 2013... but I will be far from done with my weight loss journey. Starting weight was ( I cannot BELIEVE I AM POSTING THIS ON THE INTERWEBS) 254 on Monday. The largest I have ever been.. including my pregnancies. For me it's not so much about dress sizes and looking cute.. while that might be an added bonus... it's about living longer and better. My mother had a massive stroke at 49 and I care for her every day. I will not follow in those footsteps/wheelchair tracks.
Now, that my serious intro is done, I promise I am funny, positive and only mildly insane. (already have my lists started for our cruise and FE gifts in production even though there is no one but me on the meets thread for the cruise date..lol)
I weigh more than that and am hoping to lose 30 pounds before my December cruise. After that I will just keep dieting - I think I'll have to book another cruise, maybe in 2014, just to give me a great incentive!!
