1 goal set

I've set a goal for myself and it seems that if I actually write it down and others can read it, maybe I'll try harder.

My 40th b-day is coming up 2.27 and I was thinking that I want to go into my 40s feeling better about my health and weight.  I had forgot about this goal lately and what slapped it back in place is that I made the dumb mistake of weighing myself in class yesterday.  I knew that I gained weight but though that if I knew exactly how much, I may have pushed myself back in the depressed state, so I have avoided it.  I have gained 16 pounds and know that it is from the meds.  My eating habits have been pretty consistant for a long time.  Anyways, time to stop blaming it on everything else and just do something about it.  I would like to loose at least 20 pounds by February, but will take 15 Undecided.  Lets see what  happens?????

Hey there

 

This is a good goal...and I think you will have a good chance for success if you break up your goal into little manageable bits.  And put the focus upon healthy actions...instead of the weight loss.  A lot of people lose weight....myself included...but gain it right back...myself included.  I lost about thirty pounds more than several years ago...and it took about a year.  I think a slow steady pace works well in the long term.  And yeah...February sounds good...five months....about three pounds each month...you can do this!

 

I need to lose about ten pounds...maybe we can cheer each other on.
