My goal for May had been to get down to 179 pounds, and at Saturday’s weigh-in, I weighed in at 179 on the nose. I’d like to lose 10 pounds by the end of June and be down to 169.
I started to think this weekend about how far from my goal I still am, how I feel like I’ll never get there, then I realized, if I can get down to 165 by the wedding (end of July), I will only have about 25 pounds to go to my goal after the wedding. My goal weight is tentatively 140. I’m playing it by ear, seeing how I look and feel instead of setting an arbitrary number.
My LoseIt app estimates I will reach my goal weight by mid-October. That is only 3 months after the wedding and 5 months from now. Realizing that got me excited and motivated again. I’m not a million miles from my goal anymore. I’ve lost 38 pounds and have about 40 more to go. I’m halfway there!
I saw this quote and loved it so much, I added it to my Motivation page:
That is exactly what I want: the next few months to be a period of magnificent transformation for me. I will reach my goal weight, I will be stronger, I will be fitter, I will be able to finally, finally say “I did it!”
