My Goal



My Goal
I want to weigh less than 155 pounds by next March. My husband Brad and I have been trying to have a baby since last April, but I believe my weight has been contributing to my not being able to conceive. I've gained 45 pounds since we were married in 2006. I was already slightly obese at that time, but now I'm even heavier than before, due to my poor eating habits and lack of daily exercise.




My goal is to either get pregnant or lose 85 pounds by March 2009. Brad and I have already discussed how we were going to meet these goals and we have come up with a plan. Brad has been a big help and support to me. He's my greatest motivator.




OK, so my goal is to lose 1.6 pounds every week. Doesn't seem too hard, does it? I want to have a healthy, realistic goal so I can feel like I'm making progress every week without becoming discouraged or upset if I mess up. I also want to make sure I'm getting enough vitamins in my system in case I do become pregnant while I'm dieting.

Hey, Becky. happy belated birthday. I had a birthday myself on the 11th. I am trying to lose weight myself. It's hard very hard now that I'm older. So, I just have to keep trying. i have been drinking a tea called wu tea. it's natural and it really helps take the edge off. I have startd to exercise more too.3 times this week and twice the week before. I will try 4 times this coming week. Seems like I just have to try extra hard although the weight does not drop as fast as it used to. Its hard too becasue no one supports me. Everyone says i don't need to lose weight but I do. I'm 5 1 inches and weigh over 150 pounds. My goal is 130 by the end of summer. Good lcuk with the weight lose. It sounds like you are off to a good start. i will be checking in with you as well. Talk to ya soon
