Is this goal even possible???

[BonnieRose16]

I do put dates on my goals... HOWEVER, my brain doesn't do something if there isn't a "due date" If I don't tell myself I'll be done losing weight by the time I go to Hawaii next summer then I won't be. I don't know why, but it's just the way I work.... Some people have rewards to help them along and some people have schedules... just depends on the person

It could happen, but it could also not happen. Who knows. There are some weeks I'm down 4 pounds and others I've only lost half of a pound. It depends on a lot of things since I'm a woman.

If you do indeed meet that goal by your birthday - rejoice! If not, definitely do not beat yourself up about it.

Yippee! I'm halfway to the birthday goal! I'm at 164 this morning. I think I can get a couple more pesky pounds to go away in the next 8 days! Even if I lost 2 more pounds, I'd be thrilled! That would give me 20 lbs gone since May 1. Just wanted to give all you lovely supportive people an update, and wish you a wonderful Tuesday!

WOW only 4 more lbs to go! I bet you can get another couple pounds by your birthday.. even if it's just one or two how cool is it that you will be/are sooo close!

Crud. I'm driving myself crazy with the weighing every morning...down 2 lbs, up 2.5, down 1, up 1. It's enough to drive you crazy!!! MUST WEEN MYSELF OFF THE SCALES! No weighing until the 30th birthday? That's only 5 days. I think I can do that...Wish me luck!

exercise as much as you can the next couple of days. not weights but walking or jogging and sweat off those last few. Good luck.

Thanks, Diamonds! I was just in the shower devising a plan for the next few days, and I came to the same conclusion. I decided to AT LEAST walk or do my elliptical machine for 45 minutes each morning, and if I can add in something, like Yoga or Water Aerobics after work too, even better. I mean, this is a great plan for life, but especially for the next 5 days. I don't know why it's so important to me to reach this goal by my 30th birthday...
