| First Goal Met!
This would sound so funny to other people, but I know you'll understand...my first mini goal was to get below 300 pounds, and I'm now at 298! I started at 329, and I'm so excited to have met a goal. Lots more work to do, but it'll come. I've started walking about a mile a day and actually look forward to it, which is also something I'm excited about.

City: Gardena State: California | That's great!! I think mini goals are really the best way to get through this. The 'end game' seems so far away, but mini goals rock! :D

Great job!!!

City: Toront State: Ontario Canada | Congratulations:clap2::clap2::clap2:. Sometimes I get depressed because I allowed myself to get to 250 before I got banded, but reading about others' successes keeps me motivated. It just means a longer journey, but hey don't they say it's the journey that counts not the destination. As an art teacher, I always say if you don't enjoy the process don't start the project. | |

City: State: tx | Congrats Emily! To me it doesn't matter the size of the goal. You set a goal and you made it. Keep that up. My confidence builds everytime I set a goal. It can be as simple as getting my taxes in on time. (that was a fun one, lol) You're doing great!

City: Kissimmee State: Florida | Gentlespirit, that is terrific lady! You are doing a fantastic job.
31lbs and counting. I am particularly happy that you are walking 1 mile a day. That's excellent.
You aren't hoping that the band will do all of the work. You are actually working with the band. Now this is how I believe it should be done.
I salute you!

City: Tampa State: Florida | Congratulations on your mini-goal!! :clap2: There is nothing silly about them--it is what will keep us motivated and will help us lose! If I were to think about how much weight I had to lose at the beginning of this journey, I no doubt would become extremely overwhelmed. 90 lbs to me sounds unrealistic!:faint: But when you look at it in terms of mini-goals, it begins to become attainable. Now I have 60 lbs which is much better! My next mini-goal is the Wonderful 199 mark. You can do it--you are doing it!! Keep up the great work~

| Nothing silly about that! Welcome to Twonesia! Onederland is next! It's so wierd to see a "2" first when you are used to a "3". I'm still not used to seeing a "1" first instead of a "2" but it feels so good!!! Now start looking for a "2-8" something...pound by pound...here you go!!!!! Congrats!
