My new years resolution is definitely to put my weight behind me, as you were getting at. I just don't want that to be an issue in my life. I want to live healthy. and to do that i've gotta drop about 80 lbs! I'm hoping to be able to do it in 8 months, 10 lbs a month. I know it's not likely to happen exactly as planned, especially with my history of slipups, but it would be really nice to be 70 pounds lighter by my birthday! I haven't weighed less than 180 since 8th grade...that was 8 years ago! I got a lot of work to do
But it's all about changing your life, not just what you're doing in the present.
