Hi there everyone!
I keep on thinking about summer and the weigh im going to be at when summer hits! Hehe Im already thinking of Summer clothes that I can fit into and the bikinis i would love to get into to.

So by June? (is that summer?)
I'm going to try to weigh into a manageable 110 !

Is it even realistic buying size 10 (UK)/ 6(US) clothes now? just so you can look at them everyday and think you can get into them? Cause im doing it

Congrats on your weight loss so far!!
Ok, here goes. Summer goal(short term?): Weight will be 180 pounds and size 10-12.

I DO buy clothes in my desired size. I don't see a problem with it when it is so attainable. When I was 330, I would not buy size 12 clothes. It just wasnt within my reach at that point but as I would lose weight I would get clothes a size or two smaller because I KNEW I could do it. Now I wear an XL and buy clothes in L for the next size. I wear a 14/16 and buy 10-12s. I havent started my weight lose but am in the midstof it. I know I am going to do this.

Losing healthy 8-10 pounds a month may be attainable for you. As you get closer to your goal your weight loss may slow down. Please be prepared for that. Make sure not to get into an all or nothing mentality. Been there done that. You have done so well so far. Half way there!

Welll... All I want to do is slip into some Hollister jeans [which I have been too big for for like a year and a half], and be able to show my face at the beach since I live on the lake...my goal for June 1 is 135, but I will settle for 145, asd long as I'm trying my hardest.

ps I have 3 boxes in my closet labeled "Tandi's skinny clothes"... er.. fitting into those would be spectacular!

Ann, thank you! For those kind advising words!
I know what you mean. I have thia ll or nothing mentality but i'll kick out of it! Im plateauing actually now but im keeping my calm. So i wont just fall off the wagon. Thank you!


of course you're doing great yourself, and you sound so determined, so 180 by Summer is nothing for you! Good luck and keep on going! THats great! its like when you know you're close to the goal, THEN you start buying, which i think is good motivation.

But even if you havent started, I know you will and you will get through it. 180 by summer! GOod luck!

Hello Tandifrass, OHHH holister jeans!!! me too!!! defintely! I bought a size 5 hahahah! about two years ago thinking i could get into them 2 year ago, but i kept stalling my weight loss. But not this time! this time im going straight ahead.
Good luck! Im sure you can get to 135 by June. we have 5 months. So those 5 months would be worth it esp when you try your hardest!

Well I'm glad I'm not alone on the jeans. I'll let ya know what happens :-)

yeah please do. you dont have a long way to go! so its all good hehe.
I think i'll be eaiting exactly 6 months to get into my hollisterjeans ahaha but they have very nice jeans O_O flattering.

It already IS summer here...and I am dying. It's 40 degrees at the moment and its 6:20pm - blargh! Oh, thats about 104 farenheight.

In some areas it peaked at 46+ and one town had 48! (114 and 118 farenheight).

I am dreaming of the winter months right about now lol.

Anyway - goals!

To be at 63kgs (138 pounds) by the end of March for a wedding I am going to

my goal for the last week of june is 110! That is 2 pounds a week until then, and i have it all charted out! I cant wait to get there. My wedding is at the end of August and i would like to buy my wedding dress in a really small size in July. I am thinking i could fit a size 4. I'm a 10 now so that isnt to unrealistic.. lol.. well here is hoping.. well not hoping.. doing!! lol

I would love to be down to my goal weight by summer so I won't feel horrible at the beach. Even if I don't get all the way there as long as I keep losing I'm fine with it. Bathing suits here I come!!

I guess my summer is goal is to be down at minimum 16 pounds. That is a weight of 178 pounds. That is a rate of one pound a week. That seems totally doable. I have never been out the high o180's my whole adult life so I have no idea what size I would wear or even what I would look like.

Good Luck everyone!!!!

Eight words: Itsy bitsy, teeny weeny, yellow polka dot bikini!


...well maybe not yellow...


Hopefully by July

By June I hope to be at goal. or at least in the low 140's.

Let's see... 22 pounds... divided by 16 weeks (4 months), equals 1.375. So I have to lose 1.375 pounds a week in order to get to goal by early June.

That totally seems doable!

and when I do it, I'm going to reward myself with a cute, gauzy, breezy summer dress!

All i want is to go to a public pool with my kids and actually swim with them this time in a bikini! ahh! lol

I would love love love love to be in the low 230's, then maybe by the end of summer ONEDERLAND!!

I don't think my boyfriend has ever seen me at 230, he thought I was hot when he met me and it think that was somewhere around 245ish so losing virginity maybe be an issue this summer LOL

Hi there Aware! thats my goal too! 110! its plausible Im sure me and you can do it!!! for my height 5'0 110 would be perfect hahaha we will and can do it. And youur wedding is in august??? thats great!!! you'd look smashing by then! You can do it!!!! im stopping at a size 6 LOl thats plausible right? i want to buy clothes now (so they wont run out) and wear them during summer im buying them in a size 6 LOL. so i hope its not to big or too small by the time i get there haha.
