Well, I've made it one year here (Aug. 20,2006) I've done pretty well overall but didn't reach my goal. It's been my own fault though. Summer is a very hard time for me to lose. I lose focus. While I still get execise, I lose structure. Sure, I may mow the grass but I don't have time for biking,Etc. Also Picnincs and parties are a weekly occurance! I'm hoping that once sumer is gone I can regain my focus and reach my goal. I'm almost there!!! I'm also thinking of starting over when I reach my goal of 220. Say set a goal of 200 by the end of the year. Oh well one step at a time fo rnow. I'm gonna do it!!!!
