I am losing weight. Okay granted I know I have done okay, I mean 7 lbs in 7 weeks is by no means bad but at the same time I want it to go a little faster. SO most of this I posted in my journal entry but for those of you who don't make it that far.... I am going to go lower with calories/fat intake and try to lose 2 lbs/week for a while!! At any rate I will be happy with any loss but this yo yoing from week to week is driving me up the wall. I want to be at 10 lbs lost and stay there without going back up the next week, then I want to see 20 lbs gone and stay there, then 30 and so on and so forth.
This bouncing between 247 and 252 is driving me mad.
SO my goals over the next few days is to weigh in at 248 even by Friday and then after that:
I am hoping to get to 196 lbs by the first of the year. I have to put my mind to this task. I want to lose 52 lbs by Jan 1 putting me at 196. That is my 1st long term goal. So I have 6 months (26 weeks) to do this in. I can do this. I have to do this. I can't keep letting my weight weigh me down and keep me from enjoying life.
Here are my gaols starting July 1st:
July 1st: 248
Aug 1st: 238
Sept 1st: 230 --->> 10% gone --My first reward - bowling & new jeans
Oct 1st: 222
Nov 1st: 212
Dec 1st: 204 --->> 20% gone --My second reward - ?? & new clothes
Jan 1st: 196
Feb 1st: 188
Mar 1st: 180
April 1st: 176 --->> another 25 lbs gone-- 3rd reward - Anniversary trip & new clothes
May 1st: 172
June 1st: 168
July 1st: 164 --->> High end of idea weight ---
Reevaluation to see if I am happy or want to lose more
This give me 1 yr to lose 84.4 lbs. Total lost will be 92 by this point!
If I don't make my 2 lbs/week then I won't beat myself up but I would REALLY like to see the above numbers happen. I have made a chart to record my goals and my weigh in's and I have my calendar handy to watch it too. I know there are liable to be weeks where I don't lose anything but it if averages out over the long haul then GREAT, if not I will be disappointed but happy with any loss that stays off!! I am ready to get my life back in order and I am tired of not having the energy/breath to do it! Time to buckle down even harder on myself.

We sound a lot alike. I am going through the same thing. i even have a chart that has 2lbs. per week on it, my goal is to lose 54lbs by Jan 1. However i am doing a lot of backsliding. It's like my body is playing a game with me I'll weigh in on Monday and the scale will say that I lost 2lbs. Then on Wednesday the 2lbs. will be back. SO FRUSTRATING. It just makes you want to fight a whole lot harder.
good luck
