    mini goal too much??

    I am doing very well on Atkins this time around. It's been 3 years since my last success. I was OWL for 2 years before somehow it all got away from me. I'm on day 6 of induction. Staying on track is not what I'm stressing about.
    I did not journal my progress back then, I only knew by photos and the different sizes of pants in my closet how I was doing.
    Is it a far fetched mini goal to drop 20 lbs by halloween? I am excercising too.
    My start date is August 15.
    It's not the end of the world if I don't lose that much in 2 1/2 months, but I'm wondering if it may be slower for me because my starting weight is 157 lbs.
    Any input?

    well based on your siggy that would be a very fast loss of 62% of the weight you needed to lose so I'd say yep that is unresonable. since weight loss is realative I'll use my pounds to illistrate this a little better for you.that would have been for me 91 pounds gone in 2.5 months. know you will be smaller and healtheir by halloween and be happy whatever the number is. pick a fitness goal for your minigoal and work that as you morph your body.

    happy low carbing

      Thank you! I needed to be put into perspective, and you definately did that for me.
      I love that your post was no fluff. You're right, that was a bit much to expect of my body. I can wrap my mind around achieving a smaller goal, and it's less stressful. I will be ecstatic to lose 10-12 lbs by then.

        Just a thought (although I'm not as experienced as others), I was fairly inactive before starting Atkins and now I excercise every day (bike). If you are also inactive and start excercising you may lose weight faster and feel better as well!

        P.S. I like your Mantra BlackDiamond. I may use it with friends and family.

            I had my first humbling workout yesterday. OMG I'm walking like I have a corn cob stuck where the sun don't shine today! My legs are so sore! But yes, I am going to be working out. I need to be in better shape. It's not just about the weight loss for me. Glad you think my mantra is funny.

              And don't forget, since you will be exercising, you will be building lots of muscle and toning. So even if the scale doesn't budge, you could be making progress. So don't be disappointed with the goals you set and just keep pushing forward.

              I love the mantra too!!

                You're so funny Blackdiamond! I know exactly how you feel because my doc is trying to get me to have "proper posture" and when I walk the way he says is proper it looks like I have a corn cob up the yoohoo.

                  Sofar,
                  I was happy b/c joining this board, I would have things in common with the other members, but finding a fellow corn cobber really makes my day!
