My eventual goal of 150lbs seems so far away from this point.  To lose the weight healthily it will take at least a year to get to that point and sometimes I must admit I think that is the part of the reason I have struggled so much.

SO time to set some smaller goals!

I am gonna look at this as a 6 month health drive! and take it in small blocks.

By the end of the 6 months (weigh ins are Tues so will make it 25th August) I want to have lost about 50lbs to get to 13st 5lbs (187lbs). 

I want to lose about a stone (14lbs) in this first month (by 21st April),

another stone by 2nd June,

another by 4th August

and then reach my 50lb total by 25th August.

Now all I need is an action plan!

Eating-wise: 3 healthy meals with smaller portions than I have been eating, and 2 healthy snacks per day, 1 treat per week to have something to look forward to and keep me on track.

Exercise: four 30-minute sessions per week.

Then after the 6 months are over I will be fitter, happier and healthier and I can get started on a new plan to lose the rest.

The idea at the moment is when it’s over give myself another 5-6 weeks to lose about 12lbs by the time I get back to uni at the end of September/beginning of October. I will then be the weight I was when I started college when I was happy and confident and more comfortable at a size 16 (US size 12).

At least by then I will be feeling much better about myself and even if the rest of the weight loss is slow, I will be happier. That is what is important, so I need to focus on getting myself to a point where I am feeling more positive rather than focusing everything on my eventual goal of a healthy weight.

I will get there, and 6 months doesn’t sound quite as long as over a year lol I’m actually looking forward to it! x
