I love this thread. ♥ Six months from now (December 2011)... I will be at my goal weight, which means I will be lower than I ever remember (around 145ish in high school). I will have completed the Insanity (work out) program. I will be exercising daily in some form. I will have attended all of the doctor appointments I have been putting off. I will be spending a month with my boyfriend who is coming to visit me all the way from England over the Christmas Holidays. ♥ I will have made up my mind about what I want to do next in school (already have an M.S. in Psychology as of winter 2010) and will have applied to schools across the pond for next fall (2012) as part of the big move out there... I will have saved up at least $10,000. I will still be actively posting on this board at least three times a week for continued inspiration, support, and fun. And, I will start something in an area that interests me for a hobby such as painting, belly dancing, burlesque, or something fun. And my boyfriend and I will be in the middle of another series to read. Oh gosh it's public now-- I guess I have to stick to it.
In six months, I'd also like to be in Onederland. I remember being 191 lbs in middle school. It would be fabulous to start another new year with a decreasing waistline rather than an increasing one. Because my weight loss has been slow, I'm not sure that I can accomplish 38 lbs in six months, but it's better to aim high and try my best.
I haven't yet learned how to stop overeating. I'm overeating far less often, not overeating in the large amounts I used to, and I've replaced unhealthy foods for healthy ones, but I need to work on appetite control. I think it would help to eat more snacks and drink more water, but we tend to run out of snacks in this house. I tend to gobble up the chocolate, and my dad and sister gobble up everything else.
6 months from now, i will be wishing for these lovely summer days... lonely for the sunshine, and hopefully at least in a winter onederland! i really want to be at 191 then, which is techinically overweight for me- no longer obese for the first time in 7.5 years
Still whittling away! Lol, it doesn't seem that likely I'll reach my end goal in 6 months/ end year, and assigning weight/date goal depresses me, so I'll be content by still staying on plan.
I started this thread last year. But decided to put a new six month goal. I would like to be 174 overweight. So I will have to lose 53 lbs by December 31st. Right now I would even be happy with Onderland by the end of the year. Good Luck, Everyone!
"How have you overcome the desire to eat?" At this point, my desire to live a better longer life is stronger than my desire to pig out. I don't starve myself and still eat the things I like. I have a sweety every day and even have a burger here and there. I just fit it within my calories. So I kind of eat the same, just way, way less. If you've seen my other posts you'll also know that I was considering weight loss surgery. Going through the process has scared me to death. I would rather work on this my own, then have them cut out half of my stomach. Yikes!
6 months from now I will be almost 1/2 way into my school year long internship. I will have learned how to balance work/school/family/ and my healthy life style. I will be jogging atleast 1 time a week outside...brrrr! I will also be using my elyptical, to keep the cals burning when I can not be out jogging.
I will weigh somewhere around 145! It will be the first time in YEARS that a new year will start out with me being a healthy weight.
Hmm... maybe in a size 8 or 10? I have no clue where I'll be weight-wise because I tend to be a slow loser. Ideally I'd also like to be TTCing for #2!!!
I just went back and looked at what I said originally and for the first time in my life, I was right! I wasn't very specific, but I've passed my goal and am actively trying NOT to lose anymore but stay within my desired range. I'm in a size 4-6 and about 125. And very happy.
