    Hi Vicky (^_^)
    So Goal #1 is to just go slow and steady towards losing the ultimate weight of 100lbs.
    Goal #2 is a further 40-50lbs (after the initial mass of 100 lol)

    Plan of Action: Honestly, I have no major Fitness/rigorous plan set up.
    Current/Past lifestyle has been very much a huge battle with Physical Disabilities as well as sever periods of Depression/Anxiety among other mental health disorders.
    So for the Moment the Changes being made are:
    • Increase Activity levels (walk the Dog further than normal, be on feet more than sitting, Re-Start Yoga etc)
    • Portion Control
    • Swap out sugary treats and drinks with Water and Fruit
    • and the main one: Remember it takes Time! Results are not instant and not to be discouraged or down if i have a "bad" day.

    Achievable goals and plan of action makes sense! Good luck with it all.
    I absolutly relate with the anxiety aspect, sometimes this can have a major impact on your life.
    It absolutely does take time. But by experience once you start a new routine if you can stick to it for about 2 weeks it normally falls into place by itself...or is that just me!...im hoping to loose a stone by the summer ...fingers crossed
