i changed my goal weight a little

andielmt · May 24, 2008

ive decided to change my goal weight a little. my goal weight was 150 pounds but im starting to think that may be to unrealistic. i changed it to 165. i know thats only 15 pounds difference but because ive been struggling with my weight loss lately im not sure if can lose over 100 pounds. i can already notice a difference with my 35 pounds lost so losing a total of 100 would be beyond my dreams. i hope i can do it.

Just wanted to say...I'm 5'3 on my tallest days...and at 165 I feel wonderful...I'm down from 228 to 182 and I already feel like my old self...I think goals should be realistic and timely...As you continue on you journey, your goals may change...And the best way to acheive them is to go for attainable goals...and always make new goals to better your life...Wieght loss or otherwise...

I have reconsidered my goal weight, too. My doctor put mine at 140. I started at 233. I have now lost 35 pounds and there is no way I want or need to lose another 60 pounds. I am 49 years old and a grandma of 6, I am not trying to look like Jennifer Aniston here! I want to be fit and curvy and I don't think I need to be that thin to accomplish it.

My doctor set a goal weight and I shrugged. It was in the right direction anyway. For now, I just use it as a general goal post. I can't make a decision until I get close® to it. If your goal is making you want to give up, head for smaller goals, easier to achieve and encouraging.

thanks for the feedback, my goal may change later but for now it felt to overwhelming. i am just happy that im not where i first started. i just wish that the scales would move again but i know it takes time. i wish you all luck
