Weight loss success?

Someone at the gym introduced me to someone else and indicated that I was another "weight loss success." While it is true that I have lost a lot of weight, I am nowhere near my goal size or fitness level. It just hit me sort of strange because I certainly do not feel like a success at this point. I know I have a long way to go....but maybe that is what is getting me in trouble these days...stressing out about the long way I am from being where I want to be. I don't know. It is all confusing. I need to keep working it out. It's not like I am going backwards...because I'm not....and I have gained lean muscle mass...I just am not losing the fat that I want to lose. Well, no matter what...I plan on being (or continuing to be) a success story.

So far, I have only crossed one of my 50 items off the list but I am working on many of the others. I am about one third of the way through Moby Dick. I am working on pullups at the gym. I am starting to run again. All of these are making progress towards items on the list.

The biggest thing on the list is the Susan G. Komen Three Day Walk in November....and the fund raising I have to do. I am happy to say that after my first week or so of gathering support, I am a bit more than half way there! It amazes and motivates me to be surrounded by such good friends and great co-workers.

I know that 2014 will be a great year. I hope it is for all of you as well!
