So excited to be taking control of my life! I have always had a tendency to let things go by me without taking chances. Partly for lack of confidence other procrastination attack...Well now I'm taking charge...I'm really motivated within...I deserve so much more than I have given myself credit. But now my goal is set...31 lbs. for my 31st birthday in November. That is my present to me. Ultimately, I will lose 66.5 pounds by Valentine. So far I've lost 6 pounds leaving 25 pounds to be lost by Nov. Wish me luck!!!!!

    I am the last person to be negative, but I think expecting to lose 25 pounds in a few weeks could be setting yourself up for failure.

    Good luck! And I hope your birthday is at the end of the month. Not to be negative or say you can't lose 25 lbs by Nov 1 but weight loss comes at varying speeds and losing weight too fast can be bad too...

    Good luck with that, but be safe! If you lose weight to fast you have a greater chance to gain it back! I am all for big challenges!

    Thank you all for your support! I sincerely appreciate it...I'm definitely going to try to lose the weight...the healthy way. My biggest problem is that I continued to eat for 3 even after my twin daughters were born, and I did not exercise...even after recovery, so we'll see! Also thank you guys for your helpful criticism, I understand and appreciate were you are coming from....I set this goal....not only to look great, but gain control and perspective of my life. I do realize this amount of weight to lose by November 24th is well... very ambitious...and yes very challenging, but it is also my motivation.
