Goal Weight

Still to go: 72.5 lb

I'm 57 and been overweight for a long time. I've lost a couple hundred pounds over the years only to gain them back again. Retirement is not too far away & I'd like to enjoy a few years of it. With 10 grandchildren & an active (skinny) husband, I want to have plenty of time & energy to have fun with them all. This is my big chance to change my future for good. I want & NEED to find a healthier way of life. I am thankful to find friendly support on this site & I will return the same.

Mini goals are:

First week: 255.0 pounds *
Feb. 28th: 240.0 pounds
April 15th: 225.0 pounds
June 20th: 208.0 pounds (Big Goal)
July 31st: 199.0 pounds (Birthday Present)
Thanksgiving: 175.0 and from here I'll see.

Wish me luck!

Visual Motivation Ideas Anyone?
Great idea! I can always use a nice new savings account. A nice new outfit would be a great way to celebrate success. Thanks!

Atkins 40
I'm not on the Atkins 40, but the Atkins 20. I do share your excitement about losing on the plan. Atkins is GREAT!

Low Carb Breakfast Ideas
I make a crustless Quiche and divide it into however many portions, wrap, put 2 in the fridge & freeze the rest. Quick, easy to reheat & there are several recipes for Quiche on Linda's Low Carb Recipes.

Visual Motivation Ideas Anyone?
I would love to get some ideas for visual motivation. One I would like to share is paperclips. Start a string. One clip per pound lost. Put a colored clip @ 10 pounds or whatever significant number works for you. It's sooooo great to add clips, but really sucks when you have to remove them. Keep it, or them, where you and others can see it. They will know what it represents & it's public accountability & nobody needs to know what you weigh! Please add what works for you too.
