Thanks everyone! I'm soooooooooooo looking forward to going home and seeing my family and friends. I have avoided seeing so many of my friends for so many years because I was fat and embarrassed. While even if I lose 35 more lbs before I go home, I won't be too much heavier than I was when most of them saw me last so it won't be as bad as if they were able to see me now. I purposely got in touch with several people that I've missed over the years and am keeping in touch so that I will somewhat be forced to see them when I go home..... it has been a serious motivation tactic for me. I have this really dumb thing I do when I am on the treadmill that keeps me going until I just can't take another step.... I'm going to be seeing my 1st love when I go home.. his name is Pat... When I get tired or bored and want to leave the gym, I start chanting to myself.. PAT PAT I'M NOT FAT...and it helps me to go a little further...lol. That must sound so dumb but it works...lol. I've also started tanning and am wearing my tighter jeans regularly so that I don't get too comfortable and forget during the day that I have another major goal to make in the next 50 or so days.

I can't wait til we all check in after the holidays and share the stories of how proud our family and friends are of us!

LETS DO THIS!
