WE'RE CHASIN' G-O-A-L!!!

I WAS TELLING MS SUSANN THAT IT SEEMS HARDER TO STAY MOTIVATED TO LOSE THESE LAST FEW POUNDS THAN IT WAS ALL LAST YEAR. IT'S LIKE I'M "NORMAL" NOW & I GET SO MANY COMPLIMENTS & CAN DO SO MUCH I COULDN'T BEFORE, THAT I JUST WANT TO KICK BACK & ENJOY LIFE. BUT, IF I DON'T HIT DOC BYRNE'S GOAL, AT LEAST, THEN IN THE BACK OF MY MIND, I WILL NEVER THINK OF MYSELF AS A SUCCESS, SO LET'S HELP & PUSH ONE ANOTHER TO REALLY PUT OUT A MAJOR EFFORT TO GET TO GOAL & BEYOND ASAP! BECKY J ... 36 #s TO GO TO A GOAL OF 140 #s DAWN ... 31/45 #s TO GO TO A GOAL BETWEEN 140 & 126 #s JENNIFER (Jen) ... 30 #s TO GO TO A GOAL OF 165 #s JOAN M ... 33 #s TO GO TO A GOAL OF 135 #s JULIE P ...3/28 #s TO GO TO A GOAL BETWEEN 160 & 135 #s SUSANN B ... 25/45 #s TO GO TO A GOAL BETWEEN 200 & 180 #s TOWANA ... 9 #s TO GO TO A GOAL OF 145 #s - SHE'S UNDER DR BYRNE'S GOAL & IS GOING TOWARDS HER OWN GOAL ... ANYONE ELSE NEAR GOAL? I'LL REPOST UPDATED INFORMATION SO LET ME KNOW HOW YOU'RE DOING LADIES & GENTS! GOD BLESS & HERE'S TO QUICK LOSSES ... DAWN & NICk

Hey there! My doctor never really gave me a st goal but here is mine....I am now 175lbs and my personal goal is 135 so....40 more to go to my goal!!! This is the life Jodie

YEAHHHHHHHHH ... ONLY 40 TO HIT 135 ... KEEP UP THE GREAT EFFORT & LET ME KNOW YOUR NEW #s, MS JODIE!!!!!!!!! I'VE ADDED YOU TO THE LIST.

My goal -- and my doctor's -- is 150, so I'm 17 pounds away.... Lisa

OH MY GOSH ... YOU ARE LIKE "RIGHT THERE" MS LISA!! WOW! SO, SO CLOSE!! GREAT JOB! KEEP ME POSTED & I'VE GOT YOU ON THE LIST.

YAY for everyone! My doctors goal for me is 134 and I am at 156, so 22 more pounds! He wants me to lose at least 10 of that by my 1 year (March 29th.) But there will be a huge PARTY when I get to 150 - which is 6 more pounds til a NORMAL BMI! Thanks for doing this. These last few pounds are KILLING me and I need all the motivation I can get!!!!! Kathy

OKEY DOKEY ... 22 FOR 134 & YOU'RE ON THE LIST ... WOW, A NORMAL BMI MEANS YOU'RE H-E-A-L-T-H-Y , GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SURPRISED HOW MANY ARE REALLY CLOSE TO GOAL & I'M WITH YOU ... THESE LAST FEW #s ARE TOUGH. I'VE REALLY FOCUSED & HAVE LOST 5 #s SINCE THE 1st OF THE YEAR, BUT I FOUND MYSELF REALLY MESSING UP LAST NIGHT SO THAT'S WHY I POSTED THE LIST ... LIKE YOU, I NEED AS MUCH MOTIVATION AS POSSIBLE & OTHERS TO KEEP ME ON THE STRAIGHT & NARROW!

I think that this thread is an excellent idea Dawn. I know that I have already passed Dr Morgan's goal for me and I have yet to really decide exactly where I will be happy at though from the last time I weighed which unfortunately was over a couple weeks ago I was only 20 pounds away from a normal BMI which is going to be awesome. I can't say that I will be satisfied then but I will be thrilled!!

THAT WILL BE FANTASTIC FOR YOU TO ACTUALLY BE IN THE NORMAL BMI RANGE ... I'M A WAYS AWAY FROM THAT! I ADDED YOU TO THE LIST AS GOING FOR THE BMI BUT IF YOU DECIDE ON A GOAL WEIGHT, LET ME KNOW & I'LL CHANGE THAT INFO.
