Topic: HIt My Original Goal Today!!
denmother46 Joined Sep 2007 Posts: 264	Sat 02/09/08 04:07 PM When I started MFP in mid September I wanted to lose 30 pounds. As of today I hit that mark. During this process I decided to change final goal to 35 pounds and will do that within the next month or so. I am sooooo excited. Believe me, if I can do it, you all can too! Dont allow yourself any excuses! I am 50 years old and have tried to lose weight many times before but always lost motivation, but not this time. Went out and bought myself a pair of expensive jeans today - in a size 8. They look pretty darn good - even on an old lady!! Dont give up everybody
