I am posting under this forum because I have/still kind of am struggling with an ED. I went to the gym today, got my monthly measurements, I lost 8 lbs... yeahhhhh! I also lost inches everywhere except it said I gained 1.5 inches in my abdomen?????? I don't know how that happened or if it could have been just a measuring error, because I have been working real hard to tone and lose. Other than that I am making progress. I have decided that I would like to set a long term goal for myself. My two year anniversary with my fiance is June 19th, 2008 and I would like to be down to 150 lbs by then. I have to lose 30 lbs to hit this goal and I am confident and determined to make it happen. (Without purging, without starving myself, and without any crazy crash diets!) Anyone else have long-term goals they would like to get out........... Right now?

First of all - Yay you! for taking control. EDs are insipid little things that can make themselves sound so logical. Congrats on recognizing them as the unhealthy traps they really are.

Yep, yep. Long long term goal here too. Couple actually. First, 19th wedding anniversary is in July and DH has asked me to marry him again. I would like to be able to wear my original size 8 wedding dress when we renew our vows on our 20th anniversary. And, way long term, I'd like to be able to wear the dress again for our 50th Basically, rest of my life goal is to stop with the yoyoing and stay fit and healthy the rest of my (hopefully longer) life.

That sounds like a great goal yoyoudieterinvegas... Oh, and off the subject, I used to live in Fabulous Las Vegas too! Anyways, for me 150 lbs means I will be in a size 6/7 again. Right now I am in a size 10/11, 180 lbs. So lets do it!
