    Hello, and welcome!

    I like those goals: I'm a big believer in what I'd call "process goals", the things that we DO that will take us to our desired long-run results. We don't control exactly when those long-run results will arrive, but we do completely control the steps we will take to get there. Your June goals are absolutely in that vein. I also like that you have some intermediate results in mind as milestones along the way. Good stuff!

    Coincidentally, you and I are the same height at 5'5", just at a different stage of the process. (I'm in long-term maintenance after losing from class 1 obese to a healthy weight around 8 years ago.)

    I'm cheering for you to succeed: IME, the quality of life improvement is worth the effort!
