I have spent some time looking at the before and after pictures of the folks here that have met their goals. And I must say I am very inspired. Sometimes it seems as though losing weight is IMPOSSIBLE, but if others can do it I can do it too. My biggest drawback is that I am VERY impatient ... I want it NOW. But I guess you can never reach the end of a long journey, without ever starting it right?
So I have tried to make a reachable goal. I would LIKE to lose 1.5 pounds (avg) per week ... then in almost exactly 6 months (MY BIRTHDAY) I will be back at the weight I was in high school roughly 185 pounds. That will be awesome. I remember being that weight then and thinking I was chubby, which I was, but compared to NOW I would KILL for that weight lol. SO there it is. My new outlook ... goal ... whatever you want to call it. I will work as hard as I can, and eat as healthy as possible without going crazy and making myself want to quit.
And, I WILL become more patient, and appreciate all the small successes along the way. I will not lose 40 pounds in 2 weeks, it's just not going to happen!
Thank you for reading lol.
And thank you to all of you who have reached your goals and have inspired me!
