So I've done the math...
I'm at 266 right now. At a rate of 1.2 pounds per week over the course of the next 52 weeks... that's 62.4 pounds by the big day (assuming the luck of my body being nice and continuing that pattern!).
That means that I'll still be over 200 pounds by the big day. This is just unacceptable, people! Start sending some super duper weight loss vibes my way!!
Ok, so I know 1.2 pounds a week is within the 1-2 pounds a week range, but why can't it be more like 1.7 pounds a week or 2 pounds a week!?
See... at 1.7 pounds a week that's 88 pounds by wedding day, puts me at what 178. I can deal with this! At that'd put me at a whopping weight loss of 104 pounds and put me at 162. Now we're getting somewhere!
I doooont wanna be 200 pounds in my wedding!
I ordered a bottle of Lean System 7 (figured it can't hurt to try, I wrote a post about it in "does it work"), hoping for a slight increase... I'm guessing .3 pounds a week.
Any suggestions on that extra .5 pounds a week I need?
Come on, I'm open for any healthy (I say this as I try a diet pill right? LOL) realistic suggestion. I'm on WW because I want to make sure I keep the weight off this time. This is a journey of healthy changes and my health is my gift to my soon to be future husband (along with quitting smoking, that's coming soon).
Tips? Hints? Suggestions? Should I simply lower my caloric intake? I've been trying to avoid this because I've been eating for satisfaction, and I think I'm doing really well. I don't eat when I'm not hungry, I 'treat' myself about once a week to something chocolate (when I'm really craving it). I eat when I'm hungry.
It's been really hard to stick with an exercise program, so this 1.2 pounds a week is without exercise. Realistically, if I somehow manage to exercise 3 times a week could I make the leap from 1.2 pounds to maybe 1.7 or 2?
Help! I'm coming down the homestretch, I'm motivated and ready for suggestions!
