I like to go against the flow, so instead of renewed fervor in my weight loss efforts with the New Year I’ve got to admit I’ve been a bit of a slacker. My scale’s been up and down between 189 and 184 in the last 2 weeks, so I think I’ve dropped a little “real” (by “real” I mean fat) weight since the new year, but not much.

So, with a trip to the gym yesterday and a salad for lunch every day this week I think I’m getting back on track. And I’ve decided it’s time to get myself a small manageable goal to strive for. By April 20 I will be at 175, my high school weight. As much as I found 175 humiliating in high school it’s sounding pretty good now.

Wish me luck!

Sounds like a good goal. Go for it! And keep us posted on your progress.

Good luck to you

You go, girl!! Awesome goal!! You're going to look and feel fantastic.

I too have set mini goals for myself b/c I have soo much weight to lose (well to me it is ... maybe not to someone else). I haven't really put a time limit on them though just really worked toward that first. Right now my goal is to be 200 pounds. It's been over a year since I was anywhere near that so that's a good starting point for me. I'm now only 2 pounds away from that so soon I'll be making a new one! This is what keeps me going otherwise, just like before, I'll get frustrated that its too hard, etc. and quit. This is working for me & I've stayed movitivated so far!

I just set one this morning, too! We are going to get there!

Thanks everyone. And good luck with all your goals as well!

Hey. Good luck. I'm sure you can do it.
