May 2, 2009
That is my goal date. My goal weight is 130. I have 113 pounds to lose.
My niece is graduating from high school in June 2009. It will be more than 3 years since I have seen most of my family, unless someone decides to visit me for a change. I do expect to see my parents at least once between now and then, but no one else. The last time they all saw me I was 273 pounds and so far nothing has been said to them about the 30 I’ve already lost.
I don’t think it is an unrealistic goal - less than 2 pounds a week. The May date will also give me several weeks of mantainence before the trip and time to go shopping. I will not go back to Maine feeling like I HAD to drive because I didn’t want to try to fit into an airline seat. Who knows, with gas prices the way they are, it might end up being cheaper to fly anyway!
That is a very realistic goal. You can do it
Awesome! I love that you have a goal date! I want one…I want one!
I think that is a good timeline. I know you can do this Diane. Won’t that just be the greatest feeling to show up and see your family and they will be so shocked to see your weightloss??? You can do it and I will be here for you along the way!
I think that’s a vera doable goal. I suggest you break it down into small mini goals soon that will make the end thing more tangible. And maybe leave some tome in between just for gloating over the results and taking a break off dieting - as you’re going to be doing that anyway, right? Just a thought…
Thinking of you lots, believe it or not,

A very realistic goal indeed and something to look forward to!! I’m excited for you! Our goal weight is the same–130! We can do it!
I’m so excited for you! And your friends and family will be quite shocked I bet!! One of the best parts will be the shopping, lol!!
