« on: July 18, 2011, 05:15:31 PM »
Wow, too think that I am 23 lbs away.. My short term goal is to reah 200, then go to 190 and then I will reevaluate if maybe an additional 10 more to reach 180.. I dont want to be lower than 180 though..

Congradulations Alex!! I know you can get there! It seems hard to get the mindset! To me, it seems like a mind thing. The body is a machine that picks up rythem, the mind reminds me of my kids! The mind will rebel! and  it tries to make you think you still need the bad stuff. My mind payed tricks on me all the time! I tried and failed. But once your mind catches up with you, it's on! LoL...Congradulations!!

Congratulations, looks like you have come a long way already!  Your idea of short term goals is what I had thought about doing; 10 pounds and then another 10 pounds.  Thanks for confirming that is the way to go.
 :)
Look out Hawaii, I'm on my way!!

Wow, too think that I am 23 lbs away.. My short term goal is to real 200, then go to 190 and then I will reevaluate if maybe an additional 10 more to reach 180.. I dont want to be lower than 180 though..

 ;D ;D ;D ;D  COOL!!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D

When you reach 180, you'll know if you should go lower or not... Your body will let you know for sure. :)
What you do today is what matters!

Welcome Suzy,

When I first started I felt overwhelmed with the "big number" that I needed to lose, then I started setting smaller goasls and it worked... This is a great forum and I wish you best.. Ask away, they are a lot of awesome and smart people on the forum...

@Doug, Im not sure why I feel that 180 is my number but I will definetly re-evaluate when I get there... I know Im weird...

Thanks everyone for always being so sweet and encouraging... 
Alex
