I'm about 2lb away from the top of my "healthy" BMI range (I have come within a pound of it this week, but my weight trend is a little further away than that).
Planning to make it there by the end of the year!
Short term goal is to lose 10lbs by NYE. Will be tough with holidays and a family getaway but worth a shot.
Also to not drink any alcohol for a month as well.
To lose 30 lbs. It is how much I lost in a couple months on Keto about a year ago, and I gained it back, so I'm looking to lose that (to begin with) with just calorie counting.
I had surgery 11/7 back surgery for fusion to disc for pinched nerve.
Mini Goals
1. Get off walker to cane
2. Get off cane
3. Get back to pool for aqua aerobics and swimming
4. Maintaining my GW
5. Reset my GW from 184 to 176.
(my SW was 376 January 2013. Made GW March 2018, been below GW since then)
I'm returning to work in 5 weeks and will have been on maternity leave for year by then.
I want to be able to look good in pencil skirts and fitted tops and finally be able to get back into all the work clothes I had to give up after I returned to work 7 years ago after having my middle child!! I totally gave up on suit trouser/pant bottoms and only ever wore stretch jeans or leggings on dress down Fridays.
I gained nothing with this baby's pregnancy due to being careful but still had 3 stone (42lb) from my previous one which I've been trying to lose for the past 7 years!
I'm already down 14 pounds from January and hope to lose at least 10 pounds more before returning so I'll feel more positive about going back to work and a little less sad about leaving bubba a few days a week.
I also want my colleagues who knew me before both pregnancies to see me back to my normal self (resting weight used to be 140) and the collegues that have only seen me obese to see the 'real me' rather than the slightly frumpy or uncomfortable 182-187 pounder 5ft 2 me.
Just to update I met my goals on returning to work and lost even more- still got a way to go but feels like a dream after failing for so many years!
When I returned to work at the end of April, I was down to 168lb, I'm now at 151 pounds!
I've managed to wear items to work that I kept in my 'skinny wardrobe' all those obese years and I just read back my post above and feel blessed to have done what I set out to do.
-to have lost a stone. By Christmas since Mid October - only 2lbs to go
- I then just need to lose another stone so I can fit into my pre-baby clothes (although sriaght after I had her they fit too just put 2 stone on when I finished breastfeeding)!!
1) lose a total of 60 pounds, which I did! Good bye elephants penis! Lol.
2) get down to overweight on the BMI range. I have 3 more pounds to go and am confident it will happen! Love these mini goals. They make the process so much more fun
3-4 kg from healthy BMI (give it take some fluctuations). I am rabid to hit this goal!
Next goal would be to get 5kg under healthy BMI limit. Then... I guess... wow, final goal. I’m only 15-17 kg from goal. Not too shabby, self! Still quite a ways, but every day brings me closer.

Fit into a pant I bought because I likes it (it’s very soft and comfy) but it’s tight 🤭
