Do I want to be asking myself this same question a year from now...

Periodically I look back at the goals that I have set out for myself. I always think, wow, if I had actually worked toward those goals I could be 150 lbs right now...
I look at Sue, one of the awesome ladies at my WW meeting on Saturday mornings, she has lost 50+ pounds and has been going the same amount of time as me.

The first page of my journal is dated Monday May 27th, 2013... it was exactly 9 weeks until Mexico :)
I sit roughly the same distance from Mexico again, we leave in 8 weeks.
My journal entry for that day it says:

" This means if I try really really hard, I could be down 18lbs (if I lose an average of 2lbs per week).
Do I want this? How badly? Goal - lose 18lbs by July 28th "

Funny thing is, there is no starting weight... I can't seem to find out where I recorded my start weight anywhere... so, I want to be down 18lbs from where???
who knows??? the first official recording I found is for June 8,2013 I weighed 209.7...  so I guess this was the starting weight.

So, this time I am setting a slightly less ambitious goal. I want to lose 10 lbs in 8 weeks. I think I can do this, I know I can be successful
So: starting weight  from Saturday Dec 14th 2013 = 205.2lbs
Goal weight = 195 lbs by Thursday February 6th 2014

You can do this!!! I know you can. I believe this is possible.
