A List of Goals



Recommended Posts

I figured I would start a list of goals. I've heard that if goals are spoken aloud and/or written down, the chance of attaining them increases. So, I figured that I would give it a shot. Please share yours as well!

Goal: To reach "onederland" by April 6th. Very steep goal (70 lbs. to go), but I'm determined to do it. My sister-in-law is getting married later that month and I want to be able to wear anything that I want! As of right now, I have my eye on a really cute, pale-yellow tea-length number by Jim Hjelm:

hi Trixie, i believe its true to if you say it visualise it and write it down then there's more chance it will happen. I know a bloke who goes out in the middle of a field and shouts to the cosmos, he swears by it. Yellow sounds dreamy.

I will be 180 lbs. by my b'day on Jan 18th. I will exercise 3x a week 1 hour each in January. By June 2008 I will be at meerly "overweight" at 150 lbs.

Not only goals but affirmations.

I'd love to be at ONEderland by the time we go to DisneyWorld 4/5. Basically that's 10 lbs per month. At this point, I don't know what's realistic, KWIM? I don't want to set a goal that is so far out that that I can't even get close, and then I get all discouraged about it. It sure would be awesome to be able to ride what I want and not worry about fitting into the seats though!

Also, as soon as I'm cleared, I'd like to drag my lazy butt to Curves 3-4 times per week. I need to pull my rebounder out too; that may be a little bit longer though, the very idea of bouncing has my insides all quivery.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
