So I am setting myself a goal of 3 lbs per week from here on out. I lost about 4.5 in the last week with out really trying very hard, no exercise at all, and just making some changes in HOW MUCH I am eating, not what I am eating. By maintaining 3 lbs a week of loss, I will be below 200 by my 39th birthday in June, and I will be to my goal of 190 by the end of June, when I have a convention for the national conference for our church that I am coordinating. It is a week of chaos, bad eating, no sleep, the whole nine yards, even more so for me, when I am the one that is handling all of the logistical issues. I also get to see friends at convention that I only see once or twice a year, and it will be awesome to have them see me at my goal weight. For some, it will be the first time that they have ever seen me at less than 250 lbs.
So the initial goal is under 200 by my birthday, and the final goal is 175 lbs and 10% body fat, and the final goal would happen right around my wifes birthday, which would be the best birthday present that I could ever give her, me being healthy so that she does not need to worry about that anymore.
That being said, not only am I posting my actual weight from here on out, I have posted my goal for each week, so that I can see if I am staying on track.
