You dont need to read this or get on board, its for my own accountability, but if you want to set a very long term goal then feel free to add it.

My New Years Resolution is to start the New Year 20kg lighter than I am now. I think it will help to put it out there to stay accountable. 20kg will be a push but we need to have goals to strive for. (Thats 44 pounds to you)

Fiona has suggested that if I want to loose 1kg a week I need to up my calories to 1000-1200 a day. Its a scary thought but I will try!

So my aim now is to loose 800g a week till the end of the year. (Thats 1.7 pounds to you)

So im breaking it down.

88.6 kg today. (Thats 195 pounds)


29 JUL – 87

12 JAUG – 85.4

26 AUG - 83.8

9 SEP – 82.2

23 SEP – 80.6

14 OCT - 78.2

28 OCT – 76.6 (I would secretly like to be under 75 for my birthday but ssshhh, don’t tell anyone)

11 NOV – 75 ( Top of my healthy BMI)

25 NOV – 73.4

9 DEC – 71.8

30 DEC – 69.4!! Time to shop! (Thats 153 pounds to you)

    Demilade - what a great idea!

    I actually track my measurements on a spreadsheet and have future dates' weigh ins estimated at 1.4lb/week loss. When I WAS sticking to it and logging faithfully, it really worked!

    Soooo my New Year's Resolution is to get below 200 lbs by the end of the year!

    Yay pancakes go for it! 69 really is a stretch, it's well below what I was aiming for originally but I was in a bit of a mood the other day and now I've said 20 kilos I'm going to go for it! I've started exercising again so hopefully that will help. If I can get he 44 pounds that will make 160 pounds lost in 18 months,!

    My husband has expressed concern at a 20kg loss, he thinks I need to stop now. I am going to change my focus a bit and rather than worry about the cales I will focus on fitness. Strength and cardio.
