We are going to Disney in Oct 2012. This will be our first official vacation as a family! I want to be at my goal weight by then (well, I'd really like to be there by the end of this year, but as long as it's by our trip, I don't care).
I want to be at 150. I know for some people, 150 would still be "fat" but for being over 200 pounds most of my life, I'll take 150. I don't need to be super skinny. I just don't want to look fat & gross in all our vacation photos.
So, 150 is 45 pounds away.
For fun I decided to figure out how much I would need to lose each day/week in order to meet the goal for my trip.
Oct 5th, 2012 is 628 days away (or almost 90 weeks). I need to lose 1.14 ounces per day which is equivilent to 8 ounces (1/2 a pound) a week.
That definitely makes me feel like it's doable. I lose weight slowly but I can usually average about 1 pound per week.
Here I go.....
