Goal to be out off 200's by end of the year

I too would love to be below 200 by the end of the year. However, I will have to lose 77 pounds to realize that goal. That would be about 16 pounds a month for the next 5 months or 4 pounds a week. I think I can manage that. I've lost 25 in the last 2 months and I've only just begun to eat clean in earnest and my workouts at the gym are much longer and more intense then earlier this year as I have managed to build a little muscle and endurance. It's a good goal to work for and even if I miss it by 8-12 pounds I will still be way lighter then I am now. My sister has been trying for the past two years to get below 200 but can't seem to lose those last few pounds. She has Sarcoidosis and has to take steroids so that really messes with her weight. Maybe she I and can help each other out by competing a little to meet that goal. Anyway, great goal fattynomore and Jwarn and I hope you both meet it and more. Let's keep each other posted on our successes and we will celebrate our liberation together in January 2017.

I hit 198 this morning by just because of the pain meds. I am miserable from them at this point. I can't eat because of them but then feel sick because I am not eating enough. I think I may go to just Tylenol, we will see. 27 pounds is nothing, you can do it. Try making small goals. I have mine set at 10 pounds a time, so it doesn't seem like so much. I know I will have to be super careful with my food when I get my appetite back. I do t want to gain any weight back.
