spring to summer weight loss challenge
I really hope you are right. I was hoping for a faster first month assuming it will slow each month as I get closer to a normal BMI. I'm only 18.5 lbs from normal so I know the next 20 are really going to be a battle and the # of gain/stall weeks over the last month are a real indication I may be right. I'd love to be 155 by the end of June (if not the end of the challenge which is a week earlier). Then I want to set a summer challenge. My goal will be 150 by end of September/my surgiversary (Oct 4) that is 1-2 lbs a month over the summer (if I meet my spring challenge goal) so i think it is realistic. For me 145 is the top of "normal" so that will be my ultimate goal. I originally said 150 by my birthday (beginning of feb) but given I'm at 163.6 now I think i should be able to hit it sooner.
right now I'm gunning for the 150's. even if I'm 159.9 at the end of this month I'll be over the moon to be out of the 160's. I've bought a couple of nice pieces of clothes in a smaller size for motivation to not give up.

I think that it would be cool to hit 162 (150 pound loss) by 8/29 (my surguversary) but I still don't picture myself quite that low. That would be 1.5 pounds per week to hit that but I'm believing that almost anything is possible at this point. I'm still averaging a 10 pound loss per month since December.
So lucky with the ten pound loss. I dropped to 8 then 6. I'll be ok with another 6lb month...please let it not be 4 then 2...

Now you all have me thinking. I lost 2 pounds per week. Theoretically if I maintained that highly unlikely pace I would drop to 170 at the end. I always thought that goals should be lofty and just a bit unobtainable to keep me striving to get there. So I'm going to make the bold (nutballs) move and shoot for 170.
Holy crap I'm down 2.5lbs this week!!! Was not expecting that!!! 161.2.....just over 1lb till I hit 100lbs down!
