Welcome, Rosinante, to the 2010 update of your 2009 targets!!
What happened was this: I was doing really well, made it down from 225 (2009 startweight) to 179. I felt soooo good, so together, so on track. Then the Platonic Best Friend dumped me, he hasn't voluntarily spoken to me in a year now. I seriously did not want to let that knock me off track, and I did lose another 2lbs then suddenly POW! I was back to 215. Silly, silly, silly.
Anyway, I've been back at it since May 24th. 17lbs lost. Now feel brave enough to have targets again. Let's go!

Decided to nail my list of targets somewhere so I can keep updating.

Startweight 242 - October 2002

October 2004 weight 136

1 stone lost 14lbs = 228 Lost this in 2002, didn't quite get back to here.

136 = This takes me into "normal"
05% to lose 7lbs = 135 Goal. Unless I aim for my original of 120 but 135 would be good.

Secret desire goals

I've just been doing some adding up.

I looked at my re-achieved goals, from 214 to 196.
Last year, it took 59 days.
This year, it's taken 58 days.
Wow, consistency! It'll be interesting to see if the next 20lbs follows the same pattern.

From 196 - 191 last time ~ 14 days.
From 196 -191 this time ~ 16 days.


Woohoo! I'm obese!!!!! Not super or morbidly, just plain ole obese!

I love all those goals! I'm gonna do something like this. Good Luck!

You came back before you gained it all back! That alone is an amazing accomplishment.

I laughed when I read your comment because I also look forward to being "just" obese. That's 190 pounds for me and I think I'm going to make it one of my "goal" numbers.

Thankyou, Sky, Happy and Nancy!

Once I eventually catch up to the waggon and climb on, the only way I can really stick with it is if I become an uber-geek about figures and statistics. It takes what it takes!!

Good luck to you, too!
