in Getting Started
So my overall goal is to weigh 179lbs by approximately this time next year (I'm 265 at the moment after my 2.5 drop my first week). But I just wanted to share an idea that I've had, I have got 249 days until my birthday, yes Boxing Day... It's not great lol. That means I have 36 weeks left until I turn 22.

If... Sorry. WHEN I stick to my goal of 2lbs off each week, that means I'll be on track to lose 72lbs by my birthday! To lose this amount of weight will be absolutely enormous for me (quite literally), and although I'll still have a fair way to go, I'm quite shocked and really happy that by my birthday I could weigh 13.7 stone.

I'm a size 20 now at just under 19 stone, imagine I might even be able to wear a dress on my birthday! Something that I haven't done since the age of 8.

I know this post may not interest anyone, but really needed to share. I'm deliriously happy about this little discovery.

    Good luck! Based on the #s you posted I think its a reasonable goal. Perhaps do something to give yourself a visual reminder. Maybe a calendar posted to your mirror (or somewhere that you'll see it on a regular basis).
