My goal true goal is 139, but I've been fluctuating in the high 140s to low 150s for over a year now. So far I haven't been willing to make the changes necessary to get to 139 -- I feel a bit of complacency in this comfort zone. But I really should lose another 10 pounds, but it is tough.
At the beginning, when I was just getting started making the changes necessary to lose weight, planning was pretty key. I had to be very, very rigid and have pretty strict rules for myself. Particularly for that first month. And there was a fair amount of "gutting it out". It is hard, but it gets easier if you can stick with it. You CAN do it!
I do think you can lose 7 pounds your first month, if you stay strictly on plan. You should seriously congratulate yourself for each and every good choice you make, we all know how very difficult it is to do!
