Interesting! My goal plan already goes until the end of the year, based on one pound/week ... I have been focusing on exercising since at least I can control how much I *do* even if my weight doesn't cooperate...
So: 23 weeks means my goal will be -23 pounds. I'm pretty sure I will never be that thin again, but no harm in trying (since everything I am doing is really healthy!)
UPDATE: I'm out
I would LIKE to lose ~20 lbs but technically I'm @ a healthy weight now, so the weight loss has been maddeningly slow. I dropped ~6 lbs early on - before this challenge began - and ever since just fluctuate +/- 2 lb of that. Weight LOSS does not appear to be an attainable goal for me currently, so I have decided to focus on other health goals, such as getting my exercise routine solidified (or even "gel-ified") and eating a whole foods diet.
Time to start fresh - again! - and not keep torturing myself with the fact that I can't attain my goal of weight loss.
Power on, chickies - it is mind-boggling to see the successes many of you have had. It keeps me motivated...
