I think I can do this !

Okay I was realy inspired by being in the 250's range this morning for the second day. Then I was talking to a friend about how my surgon expectes me to be at 180 by march..and I started to panic, wow so much loss to get to such a small number in such a short amount of time. Then I sat down and did some figuring, useing 260 for a starting point that would leave me 80 lbs to lose in 4 months, That is 20 lbs a month, or 5 lbs a week avrage. I have done that in the past easily. I know what small changes I can make to help this along...No more soda,no carbs after lunch,no eating 4 hours b4 bed, add 5 more min to each excersize i do, and then there is the fact everyone insists when hubby gets home I will be burning more calories then I can take in...lol I realy think I can do this, I think it's possable..Just in the last month I went from 278 down to 258 (yeah i know it was the paxil, don't burst my bubble yet...lol) Man I'm gonna miss my diet pepsi..again.. Hugs, Shel

Come on Shelly you can do this!!!! I am inspired by you and have also gotten back on the wagon. I have decided to use small goals. My 25th High school reunion is in 2 .5 weeks. My goal to just eat right and exercise every day. If the weight starts to move again in the right direction than that is a bonus. If I can not cheat once until the 25th of November I will promise myself a brand new outfit and will drink with much pleasure that night. After that I will try the same thing to christmas.... and so on. BTW I almost bought a diet coke yesterday... then I saw your post. thanks good luck donna
