So I'm wanting to make a goal board.. But I suck at making goals. Lol
like.. For some reason, I just can't comprehend them when making them for myself. If someone tells me "a good goal would be xxxlbs by xxday" then I can strive for it. But I always feel my goals are crazy. Maybe not.. But I'd like others help creating them anyway. Lol
I currently weigh 184lbs, my FINAL goal is 120lbs.
Aprox. 65lbs to lose.
I'm going on a cruise in July and I'd like to be about 150lbs, but who knows if that's reasonably obtainable.. So there is one goal I have in mind.
But I'd like to make smaller goals in between. What would be some good goal weights/dates to keep me on track?
I also like the rewards idea, but there are so many options on Pinterest lol!
My reward for my final goal would be a new wardrobe of course..
Have you or do you use a motivational board like one of these?? If so, share yours if you don't mind! (: I like to see them.![qtiprinhmst0.png](https://us.v-cdn.net/5021879/uploads/editor/v5/qtiprinhmst0.png)

I think 30 lbs in 4 months is totally doable! That's 7.5 a month. That's a little under 2 lbs a week. You definitely can do this! Just make sure you start today! No start dates necessary. START TODAY!
It is great to make goals, to have some to strive for. But remember that this is a lifestyle change. Make food and exercise goals that are reasonable and that will fit in your every day life and then you can up it.
I love these boards! I don't have one because I'm so disorganized but eventually when I get it together lol I shall have my board too.
Good luck with everything!0 -
Thanks! I've been doing the eating portion and lost 7lbs already, but i just gotta get in gear to workout! But that motivation helps!0

I wanna make a board! I like the one that has actual daisy Dukes & bikinis attached to it. The reward is there & waiting for you when you reach the goal line! I'm curious as well, how's the past month been? I'm already inspired! Gonna set up my game today.0
