mw5373 added an entry about lose weight : So by doing other goals it helped do this goal…multitasking what can I say. :) I started a medically supervised weight loss program 8 weeks ago. A few of my coworkers are on it to which is nice cause e can all support each other. I pretty much have been a yo yo dieter all my life and decided that I was tired of it. I went with this program because I knew someone who lost 70lbs on it. I decided that I was going to commit to this for as long as it takes because I was worth it. I set my self an initial goal and a deadline. I started March 12th and set a goal of 50lbs by June 1st (which after looking at the calender I changed to June 4th cause I weigh-in on Wednesdays)which is 12 weeks. Now some people thought I was being a little unrealistic when I told them this. I had to meet with a doctor the day I started and get a consultation, a check up & run an EKG to clear me for the program. I asked him if that was an unreasonable or unreachable goal. He looked at the calender and told me that it was not an easy goal but if I was dedicated it was both. So this past Wednesday was the end of 8 weeks on the plan and so far I am down 34.6lbs which gives me 4 weeks to lose 15.4lbs so I’m very much on track to achieve that. ( I have avg. about .5lbs more per week than I have to do to get to my goal weight) I did not begin working out until I got into my 8th week so as long as I add that in and stick to it I should hit the 50lbs and then some. After that I will set another goal, not sure what it will be as I don’t really have a number in mind. I will never fit into what the standard height weight appropriate ratio because I will always weigh a little more even when I get thinner. (I know this cause I once was…lol)I am a busty girl , all the women in my family are (well except my cousin she swears she got her dad’s chest…lol)and breast tissue is heavier than most people realize. So for me it is more about feeling healthier and how my clothes look on me than a number. I would say I will be happy to be around a size 6 or 8. But I will know it when I get there. For now I am just setting goals to achieve as I get there. This is the biggest one I will have and I am almost there so I am checking it off and claiming it now. (working on those Laws of Attraction!)
