    By December 31 I want to be under 200 pounds. That will be a total loss of 40 pounds in 4 months.

    My Honey and I are leaving for a 7 day cruise on January 1st, and I would LOVE to be down to 180 lbs by this date. I currently weigh 199 lbs, so that's a big dream. I'll be happy to get down to 190!

    It is great to read about all the goals you have and feel all the motivation!!!! BUT what are you doing to get there??? What is the plan?? I don't have much to get to my goal, about 5lbs. I was actually there in Sep but ate a little too much in Oct and Nov. I don't want to continue with this pattern through Dec but I know it will be extra hard. My main goal is to at least stay where I am right now but I would love to drop a couple of pounds. That might not sound that much but it is extra difficult when you are close to your weight goal. :flowerforyou:

    You're right Alf...having a goal is great, but having a plan to get to that goal is even more important. For me, eating better is the most important thing that I have to do. Exercising is the easiest thing for me. If I could workout everyday and eat whatever I wanted to, I would be one happy camper. But since that doesn't work, I have to get better at planning my meals in advance so that I am not tempted to stop at all of the burger joints I pass everyday. Fast food is my weakness!

    I am aiming for my ticker to read 40 lbs to go.... I have 51 lbs to go right now.... I know I can do this.
    I want to be healthy again and get off of my blood pressure medication. Maybe off of the antidepressants too.

    Come on everyone we can knock these pounds out of here!!!!!

    Ooohhh to be under 200 pounds myself, that would be truly amazing :bigsmile:
    But 16 pounds in 4 weeks - hmmm, nah, I won't go there, that'd mean losing 4 pounds a week, although it's do-able, its not the 'recommended' 2 pounds a week, and I've come this far, I really don't wanna lose weight that wuick, for fear of it all coming right back and kicking me in the butt 107.gif

    But hey, if I lose the maximum of 2 pounds a week, I'll be 208 pound in 4 weeks - I'm still on target YAY !!!!

    How's everyone else doing ????
    Lets go, we can ALL do this :drinker: :flowerforyou:
