I have these little monthly goals of 8 pounds a month. I have already met my goal for this month. I'm so happy. I cant believe that I did it. I went to the doctor on the sixth of this month and told him that I was seriously going to lose weight and asked him what he thought of that and what method I should use to get started. He then told me that I should eat every 3 hours and that I needed to walk 30 min atleast 3 times a week. Well I have been walking 30 minutes every day and eating every three hours. I have been buying the frozen dinners, the cheepest best tasting and the healthiest ones. I dont even have to count calories. Its like I dont even have a chance to think about losing weight before I have already lost two pounds. I have lost two pounds a week. and that is healthy! The doctor said it was ok so i'm happy with that. I think that the most important thing is that I dont deprive myself of anything that I love. I have a candy bar if I want it, or cheese. Its just smaller portions more times a day. I cant wait to tell my husband the good news when he gets home. Thanks for listening to all of my rambling, I have a tendency to do that a lot.

Yay! Good for you! Sounds like you've found a sensible plan that works for you. What's your next month's goal? Post here when you're successful at that one, too!

I just have a goal of 8 pounds a month so I made a chart with a 2 pound decrease for every week and 8 pounds for every month. So I bought stickers and when I meet a little goal I get a little sticker, then when I meet my monthly goal I get a sticker that is modivational, you did it, keep trying, good job, ect. It works for me, that is all that matters really.

That is awesome news...keep up the good work and you'll be at goal in no time!

Wow. You seem to be doing great! Congrats.

WTG

Thanks fantastic - good for you

Make sure you reward yourself (as if losing 8lbs wasn't enough of a reward) - perhaps a manicure, massage or just a night at the movies.

Good job

I went shopping for clowns today. I found one. And I got a cute backpack purse that is fluffy and green. I dont know when I will use it but it was cute. I collect clowns and I always wanted a clown purse. I searched and searched and couldnt find the right one. So after months of searching I got frustrated. So, I made my own. It turned out so great. I got these patches that are clowns and put them on the front. It is so cute. I love it. I think that finding a new clown to add to my collection is enough reward for me.

Just out of curiosity, about how many clowns do you have? (Trying to imagine a huge pile of clowns hanging out somewhere... )
