Goals out loud

Okay, I've had this unspoken goal in mind. I'm turning 30 Sept 8th. I would LOVE to be 199-200 on my birthday. I am 237lbs today just as I have for the last 2 weeks. So before everyone says how I can do it I want you to know I've averaged 6-10lbs a month for the last 3 months so 37lbs in 2 months is such an unrealistic goal to me. But I'm sooo close and sooo far away :(

So I'm putting out there! Today marks 2 months away! I'm starting at step one. cheese sticks deli meats Protein drinks and bars and turkey, chicken, tuna ONLY I'm going to do 60 min of Zumba for 5 days a week.

I just got back from vacation and did very good!!! My surgiversay is 7/25 for ONE year. I may be setting myself up with an unrealistic goal but I know I won't be disappointed if I turn 30 at 236:) I'm still in a far better situation than myself one year ago. But if I say my goal out loud (plus my hubby knows and supports and thinks I can do it! Lol) out loud should keep me moving, burning, and losing!

Fingers crossed for a 30, flirty and thriving birthday!

I really think u can do this. I think u have a great plan. By the way I am going to follow your eating plan. I want to lose 11 more pounds before September 30.

You can do it!! I am going to stick with your diet too... I wanna be down for my birthday 10/6... I wanna be at least 250 (12 lbs loss by then)....and we can do this! I have got to exercise more and really watch it. I will be one year Aug 13th.

Let roll !!! I am beside you all the way!!

I made several short term goals. ..

First goal was to get to 337lbs the weight I was when I had my daughter I gained 26lbs since having her a little over 2 yrs ago....reached that goal

2nd goal lose 50lbs .....I reached that last wk

3rd goal get under 300lbs I have 10lbs to go

4th goal 250lbs pre pregancy weight

5th goal 220lbs my lowest weight as an adult

6th goal 199lbs just to be under 200 sounds crazy to me lol

Final goal 175-180lbs hope I can make it their !!!!!

Anything after that one will be a miracle to me :)

Good luck on your bday goal you can do it!!!!!!!

Thank you everyone for the support! Today has been a great day! I did very well eat wise and did Zumba. Day one... Check!

Thanks again for support. I also think 199-200 is a crazy cant wrap my mind around it since I was probably 199-200 when I was in 5th grade! Lol

But I'm determine to try my hardest and work this as hard as I can.

You can do it. I wish I could do it with you :) I'm turning 35 in December 7. I see the surgeon for check up next month he will be shock he put me at 140 the least I'm 110 hope he is ready to see the very new me.

This is great! I also have a goal to reach by my birthday, 10-20 .Although it is not my 30th birthday (been there done that), I still would like to achieve this milestone by then. I so desperately want to be under 200. That gives me 14 weeks to lose 38 pounds. Oct.2 will be my 6 month surgiversary so losing 100 lbs in that amount of time has been done by so many people on here, I hope I can join those ranks.

I want to walk across the Cooper River Bridge in Charleston SC.... ( i live in the upstate of SC) for my birthday. It's only 2.5 miles (with a 5% grade on each end) so its not bad...its just I could have never done it at 370+ lbs and I've always wanted to do it. So this year I AM DOING IT! Thanks ladies for the extra push!!

Such motivation and support! I LOVE IT an God knows, I need it! :) day 2 also holding strong. I am walking on my breaks just to get some more steps in my day.

I never like to set myself up to fail, so goal setting was never my thing when it only applied to my health/weight. So I'm going for it.

Thanks for all the amazing support and I will defiantly keep you all posted and please let me know how it's going for you all!:)

Cheers to goals and finish lines!
