No, I haven't reached my ultimate goal, yet... but I'm getting close!

I decided this month that I was going to try to get down to 205.4 by the end of the month (tomorrow) for a goal of 30 pounds lost so far this year.

As of today, I'm down to 204.4! That means I've lost 31 pounds, and the month isn't even over yet! This month, I lost 10.4 pounds!

My new mini goal is to lose 19 more pounds by the end of the year, for a total of 50 pounds lost this year. That will put me at 185.4 pounds. I know I can do it. There are three months left, so that's just over 6 pounds a month. I'm pretty excited!


Does anyone else have a goal they're trying to meet by the end of the year?

Hello, yes I have a goal to meet by year's end! I started SB for the first time this October 21st, 2009 and I'm down right at about 25 lb's which is REMARKABLE for me! I'm a woman that started at a hefty 215 which although I carried it well and was proportionate....it's 215! Horrid. I didn't realize how addicted I was to carbs to the point where all I thought about was the next meal and the meal including something like pasta with cheese, pizza or chinese food! I confess that I would go through Starbuck's drive through and get a feta wrap AND a apple fritter sometimes and even then it didn't do "the trick" of what I was looking for, to fill that emotional void! I was so hopeless because Weight Watchers would work unless those cravings got the better of me, and it would be a nail biting experience waiting for the next week when we got those extra points. Clearly food was my drug! I didn't think that what I was eating was CREATING this obsessive trap for me, and had no knowledge of the fact that having the donuts from starbucks is WHAT made me want lunch so soon after, and something that was high in sugar and or refined flour. I'm completely liberated from this hell now thanks to this way of eating and the only problem I deal with is REMEMBERING to eat! This not only takes away your appetite, it KILLS IT so it makes it hard for me to grab food sometimes without anything driving the urge. I'll take this problem over my food addiction ANY DAY!!!!!! Sorry I digress. I'd love to lose the rest of what I have to by August 2010... that is, I'd love to lose 60 more to be ultimately where I want to be, but that might be too lofty. I'd be HAPPY with another 30 this year! So my goal is to be at least at 160 by 12/31/10! I'll keep you guy's up to date! This is an amazing way to live I will tell you that. I'm FREE!! Good luck to everyone!
