Hi everyone

I'm not new to 3FC but I have been quite distant the last few months or so.. So January first I am supposed to start my new goal. I used Weight Watchers this time last year (the flex plan, in which I attended meetings) to start my weight loss journey and successfully lost the 32 pounds I had as my first goal, it took me 4 months but I did it. All of my attempts since then have been unsuccessful, which I will partially blame on moving a couple times and being so stressed about trying to find a job and earn enough income to survive.. But now those excuses are exhausted and I'm ready to start again!!

So April 27th is going to be my 24th birthday, I plan on losing 24 pounds in four months, at which time I will be travelling home to Newfoundland to visit my family since I never got to go home during the Christmas season. I really want 2009 to be the year that I reach my second goal of 173 pounds, and since I can't afford to pay for meetings I'm going to be doing it at home. I wish everyone else the best of luck and strength in achieveing/maintaining their goals, and I look forward to taking inspiration and knowledge from you all.. I CAN!!!

Good luck! And congratulations on your weight loss so far.

That totally sounds like a realistic goal, about 6 lbs a month, that leaves you a little leway room too, for ups and downs. Good luck!

I agree with everybody else, definitely a reasonable goal. Especially as you've been around, you know the system. I'm also doing it at home, the great thing is that this forum is such an awesome support system for everyone...
If you find that you're plataeuing you may want to look over the Wendie plan idea. I may be trying that, but I'm still getting the hang of the points stuff and I have been losing. But, I've heard great things about the Wendie way too.
Keep up the good work. You'll get there one step at a time!!
