Glad you on board for the ride too.  I too have things about me that I don't love today.  There are also things I do love about myself more now than when I was younger and thinner.  I'm a size 18, 5'7" 205 lbs. that carries it all over.  I would like to be a 12/13 by Dec.  I like your "Project Me 2011" name.  Mind if I borrow it?  I plan to make a self documentary to some degree for this year and share it with friends and family on the big 50.  My success here is to ward off the age milestone, obviously.  There is a lot of happiness in action.  I'm acting up!

Like the majority of you I am trying to take control of my weight in 2011. This is NOT a New Years Resolution, this is 'Project Me 2011"  I am disgusted by grossly overweight people yet I am in their ranks.  I am 5'11' and currently wear a size 22/24.  My goal is a size 16/18.  I have an above average frame, a doctor who repaired a broken humerus said I have bigger bones than most men.  I say this so you understand that a size 16/18 is a very good size for me.  I have recently learned that my biggest obstacle to me weight is that I do not love myself.  Now can I look in the mirror and hate what I see yet love myself.  I never realized this and how unhappy I was and it hit me like a ton of bricks.  So.....here we go!  Gonna be a fun ride and I look forward to all the friends I am going to make on this journey!  Go Team Dr Phil!!!
