Originally my goal was to get healthy and fit into the size 16 dressy clothes I had purchased before gaining all the weight. I felt it was a waste of money to buy new when all I had to do was lose weight to fit into what I already had.
After making that goal, I wanted to get into a size 14 skirt that I used to wear in college.
Now that I fit comfortably in the skirt, I was shooting to fit into a size 12. There was a few months in college when I actually was a 12-14. However I look pretty good now at a 14-16 ,so if I don't lose anything else then that's okay.
As for weight, I just wanted to be under 200 pounds. I would love to make 183 in order to say I've lost 40 pounds, but it isn't that big of a deal.
Lately instead of worrying about weight goals, I'm focusing on fitness goals.
