Ya know?!? I don't want to be discriminated against, because my weight loss might not seem so great than another persons. I am tired apologizing for it.
I do read this space everyday and I am so proud of ALL of YOU!

I worried about that at first, Julie, as my goal was to lose 24 pounds. In posting on FB, I have heard time and time again......."Whaaaaaaat??? I can't even imagine that you have any weight to lose!"
But I did.......and I still do.......and when I hit my goal weight (now 4.6 pounds away), I think I am going to shoot for another ten because now it feels do-able. The way I figure, this is a very personal journey for each and every one of us; we all have our own goals, and we all have our own reasons. And *that* is good enough.
What I have experienced *here*......in *this* thread......is ONLY support. No one *here* has questioned me. Not once have I felt dismissed. Everyone here gets that this is important to me, and that's all they needed to know.
So welcome to the thread and don't spend another second thinking that anyone here will think your journey is not as important as theirs.
