I know that my goal is a little ambitious but it's consistent with the rate I've been losing over the last 8 weeks. It should take me 12 of the 14+ weeks. I know that there will probably come a point where I stall but that's part of the reason I want to have a deadline hanging over my head. I'm an underachiever and procrastinator, and if I make the goal too easy I'll get lazy and lose less because I'll still achieve my goal. I'd rather work hard right to the end and risk coming up a little short.

Thank you bmmalone for your suggestion and looking out for the group! I agree that its important to set realistic weight loss goals so we don't get discouraged and quit. . . whats the point if we set ourselves up to fail . . it will just be more of the same!

Personally, my goal is to loose 2 pounds a week for the 100 days (15 weeks) and I already started my program on Sunday. I have mapped out a gym/yoga routine and plan on doing the Whole 30 for the first month to jumpstart my weight loss, then beginning February 2nd I am enrolled in a medically supervised weightless program that lasts 10 weeks.

I am trying to set my self up for success by making weekly meal plans, always having nutritious food readily available, reading health books, creating a workout routine that is doable, and of course, having the support of this online community! Let's rock this!

I am set to lose one pound a week. I will hurry up slowly

I'm shooting for 2 lb a week. So far since I have been on MFP I dropped 80 lbs, so this will be a great motivation to continue to aim for my goals, especially after the holidays.

I'm aiming for 25 pounds as well. That will put me at 199 - looking forward to seeing ONEderland.
