Totally agree with the OP about small goals. That's what I've done all along the way and it's really helped to make it less scary too - looking at what I needed to lose as a whole was just too daunting.

Also agree with Emsie. it's hard not to get disheartened when you have a bad week, but I always remind myself how much I've already achieved, how much better I feel both physically and mentally and then just draw a line and carry on.

Well I met my first short term goal - stick to it for 2 weeks

In the next two weeks I have another - go to the gym 6 times. We'll see.

Slightly bigger goal: Onederland in 6 weeks - that's, erm, March 30th, 199lbs (14st 4lbs) @2lbs per week. Give or take a week or two, I'm not that stuck on the date, just in getting there!

Good luck to all !

hello to everyone...
I am not from UK but I like it here... Is it ok for me to post?
I think that setting small goals will help me too.
I can't wait to put a ticker on my posts and watch my progress.
My first small goal is to have a tremendous change on my hair as soon as I will hit 180 pounds...
