Before my son is born, I want to get as close to 270 as possible. 22 lbs in 2 months is probably unrealistic, but I want to try to get as low as I can before he comes out.
People will be taking pictures and the thing that got me on the wagon originally back in 2002 was seeing how disgusting I looked in the pics from my friends’ wedding. I don’t want there to be more pics like that that will be kept forever…
My ultimate goal is to lose an average of 5 lbs a month for the next 12 months so that I will get down to around 230. I think that 230 would qualify me for “not so fat” status and I would be ecstatic to get there.
How realistic is losing 5 lbs a month? I think it is very realistic, in fact for the first few months I will probably be able to lose more because the more overweight you are, the easier it comes off with smaller changes.
What happens when I get there? I’ll set a new goal, but it’s important to maintain the weight loss this time. I can’t lose it then gain it all back again, that cycle is extremely unhealthy both physically and psychologically.
Tomorrow is the day that I will wake up by 5:30 and go to the gym.
Tomorrow is the day that I will stop eating crap.
Tomorrow is the day that I will start eating healthy.
Tomorrow is the first day on my quest to become not so fat!
