Again, I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to the boards. I also noticed in your signature your first mini goal to be 220 BY DECEMBER...you shouldn't place time limits on weight loss because your body fluctuates up and down so much that if you don't get to where you hoped you would be in a certain amount of time, you get frustrated, discouraged and give up.

Try setting smaller goals for yourself that are more attainable. Saying you have a goal of losing 5-10 pounds a month is more reasonable...than saying you HAVE to be 220 BY december. I have just found it sets you up for failure if you don't achieve it.

Weight loss is hard and takes a lot of patience. I have gone months without losing anything...you just can't give up. Keep pushing yourself through it and your body will catch up eventually.

Just because you didn't get on the show, doesn't mean you can't do it...because you can!
