So hubby and I booked a cruise today for May 25, 2013. I have about 16 weeks of time before we go, my goal is to be down another 20 pounds by then!! It's the little goals that make the big picture seem that much more possible! 20 pounds in 16 weeks is totally attainable, right? I am not setting an unrealistic goal here, am I?

Depends on where you are now and how much more you have to lose. As you get closer to goal your weight loss will slow down.

I think setting small, attainable goals is really important when losing weight. It keeps us from getting overwhelmed by the big picture and gives us little victories along the way to Celebrate.

I think you can lose 20 pounds in 16 weeks. Just really buckle down, count calories, and exercise and I'm sure you'll have no problem meeting your goal.

Good luck!
