So I'm 142 days in and as of today I'm 299.6lbs, down from 392lbs. I have a hospital appointment tomorrow to follow up on my knee surgery (I badly tore my cartilage and completely ruptured my ACL playing badminton in April) and I wanted to be 300lbs for the appointment. Setting short term goals have been a real motivation for me, being able to set something and aim for it has really helped keep me focused. I have an amazing medium-term target, I'm getting married in April 2013 so need to look good for the photographs but for now I need to sit down and set my next short term goal.
