If I were to lose two pounds per week for the rest of the ye

So I wrote this list out and its been pretty motivating for me. It's been really good to look at when I am having a bad day, or just want to eat foods that I know do not fit in with my new healthy lifestyle. It also gives me mini goals to aspire towards:happy: It will be so nice to cross off each one!

That is a great way to look at it. The scale on a weekly basis doesn't seem to add up to much, but put it on paper like that and it really shows what hard work and dedication can do.

Just don't discourage if you have a couple of bad weeks and the scale is stubborn. It is all a matter of perspective!

You must be reading my mind lol. I have 3 sets on my fridge. One if I lose 4 lbs a month, one for 5 lbs month and one for 6 bs a month. When I have the urge to slack I look at them and it helps keep me on track! I can decide if I want to slow my weight loss or speed it up and I can see where I will be in the future depending on my decisions today.

That really looks good :bigsmile: but once you get to a certain weight you may not lose 2lbs a week :grumble: dont want to burst your bubble, hope it works the way you would like it to:flowerforyou:

Life may not be the party we hoped for :grumble :explode: but while we are here we might as well dance! :drinker: :blushing:"

That is a great idea...I may make a list for myself and hang it on my fridge...maybe make a copy for my gym bag too!

that is an awesome way to look at it, to break it down so it's not so overwhelming. This is what I am doing this time around & I've seen such a difference. I am focusing on the 2 lbs a week instead of my ultimate goal thus not so overwhelemed

That's awesome to see. You inspired me to do the same lol

01/09/09=270lbs
02/23/09=260lbs
03/30/09=250lbs
05/04/09=240lbs
06/08/09=230lbs
07/13/09=220lbs
08/17/09=210lbs
09/21/09=200lbs
10/26/09=190lbs
11/30/09=180lbs

Lowest week I have had is three pounds so looking at it from a two pound a week rate...I am looking forward to next november lol

LOL you should see my Excel spreadsheet. I tend to obsess the details. It DOES help to have it written down. Great goals!
