Hi Everyone: It's time again for my regular Friday post. I am 3 weeks from my one year anniversary and as it gets closer I'm beginning to think about my goals for year two. I am holding at 190 pounds which is a 183 pound loss. I have little if any hanging skin so I guess I will not need to have any plastic surgery done. I guess I was either lucky or my skin has responded well to the weight loss (5 days a week in the gym lifting weights didn't hurt either). My body fat is down to 16% (God only knows what is was before surgery) and I'm feeling great!!! One of my goals going into year two is to reduse my body fat a few points more, maybe to the bottom of the healthy range for men my age which is 12%. Another goal is to maintain my current weight (=/-10 pounds) and add a little more muscle. A third goal is to always remember the work I put in this first year and use it as motivation to work harder in year two. Why work hard and then slack off? Believe me, there's no slacking off in me. There you have it. A few basic goals for year two that will keep me going. I'm sure I'll come up with some more but this will do for now. Everyone just keep working your program and don't give up or give in. Till next time, Jesse 373/190/-183

Jesse, You are a true inspiration! It is so wonderful that you set these long and short range goals for yourself as it shows that you are still strongly motivated. You are lucky to not have the problem with the sagging skin, but I am learning to live with it. At first I was definitely planning to look into PS but now I'm just not sure that (a) I want to have any more surgery and (b) want to pay out of pocket meaning debt I don't need. My husband, bless his heart, says I look fine the way I am and since he is the only one seeing me naked - I can live with that! Have a great weekend! Patti
