New Goal

So it would seem that I have neglected my goals for the future.  The lose 10lbs in a month and hubbie buys me a new computer was not a success. Good thing since we could not afford a new laptop this month anyhow. I have been neglecting myself and my goals for a while now. My focus has not been where it needs to be. So I am going to make a new goal this month. Rather than focusing on the scale I am going to focus on my health. My BMI right now is 32.0 . I started off about 49.0 so this is a drastic improvement. However I am still in the obese category. My next goal is to get out of the obese and into the overweight group. Saying it that way does not sound so great. However after that is met I will upgrade a tad bit. I used to be almost 50percent body fat..... crazy! Again I wish I was further along, but I have picked up a new weight loss  partner along the way. I am so excited to see her progress. She has mentally pushed me to a new level! I have to say, having a friend doing this with me has been motivating and has helped me reevaluate my progress and goals.
 One more thing. I have officially stepped into size 12 jeans! Yeaaaaa! I don't always understand how even though the scale stays the same how I change sizes! But I feel encouraged to keep going and eventually the scale will catch up too!
Onward and Downward!

The scale doesn't always tell the whole story. Congrats on the size 12's!!! Great job.

congrats on the jeans!
I am nosy and curious, and you don't have to share, but what specifically are you going to do/change to reach your goal?
Is the plan to focus in on one aspect (food/exercise/cardio/stress managment) or more of a fresh perspective in all those areas?
You know I think you are doing an amazing job! You balance so much, and 'deal' with so much, and have been able to accomplish so much already.
I am excited to see you accomplish your new goal, too!
