Well I understand the freaking out... I need to lose 35-40 pounds by March 26, when I'll be the maid of honor in my (other) best friends wedding! It won't happen - I'd be happy with 20, but at the rate I'm going I'll be UP 20 >:


You've got time (: Get a jump start with all these challenges we're doing and everything will (hopefully) become second nature to you!

Well that's 8 pounds/month, which is 2 pounds/week. That's very healthy weight loss, actually. Even if you have some bad weeks in there, you can make it up with 3-4 lb losses some weeks. So if you really stick with it, you can do it!

I can understand your frustration! I'm getting married in Sept. or Oct. of 2006, and I know it's still a lot of time to lost the last 35-40 pounds I want to lose, but my body has been stubborn! I've already vowed that I'm going to be a thin, beautiful bride, so I guess I'll have to postpone the wedding if I'm not at my goal weight LOL!! There's nothing like having an upcoming big event to motivate you to get your butt in gear!! ~Sabrina 264/204/160-165

hehe, now if only I could lose 2 lbs a week! I'm in my (other) best friends wedding in March next year!


Anyway, like I said, yours is eminently doable, although you probably will have slow downs and plateaus, but if you stick around here we'll get you through them (:
