5 months in, 86 down, 15 to go. Can I do all 100 in 6 months??

I am sooo close to my target I can taste it. (no pun intended) I need to lose 14 in the next 4 weeks to achieve my target of 100 pounds lost to my goal in 6 months. I still eat 850-950 calories per day but I am so lazy I do not exercise at all. I know how bad that sounds but... please don't send me cards and letters telling me to get off my butt and work out. Thanks.

My surgeon has me conducting Q+A's with new candidates and I start off by telling them how I went to a similar seminar 8 months ago and was so conflicted by what I heard that I quickly ate a large pizza that night to feel better! Now look where I am! They could relate to that and more that I shared with them. If you would like to follow me at my external blog it is:

    That's fantastic! Congrats on the loss! I'd bet money you reach 100 down in 6 months.

    Great job and thanks for being honest about the exercise! I am down 55 and have not exercised at all either. I am leaving exercise as that thing i'll have to do when i hit a plateau LOL - I know, I know - wrong on a thousand levels.:P

    Great post, thanks! I have tried to only make changes I thought I could keep up for a lifetime. And serious exercise just isnt one of them. I have a plump dachshund I take for some walks but thats it. The changes in what, how, and how much I eat I know I can do forever!
