Determined to MAKE MY GOAL!

[Discontinued86]

Hey Guys!

I'm getting on the band wagon again . My start weight was 208lbs. I'm currently 193lbs and my Goal is 145. I would like to make my Goal by my BDAY in July. I NEED motivation if anyone can help? Any advice or comments please feel free. I plan to post pictures every month with my BEFORE photo and CURRENT photo. At the end of my journey I will post a BEFORE and AFTER photo. Here we go!

You have lost almost fifteen pounds and you need more motivation?

I'm currently 193lbs and my Goal is 145. I would like to make my Goal by my BDAY in July.

I think you are setting yourself up for disappointment. Losing 48 lbs in 4-5 months means over 2 lbs per week, every week... keeping in mind that in Pre-Maintenance (at least 2-3 months) you will be slowing your weight loss down to less than a pound per week.

That being said, if you follow Atkins correctly, you will be smaller by July.

What went wrong in your previous attempts to Atkins?

Re: Determined to MAKE MY GOAL!

Yep I agree it's fine to set high goals but have realistic expectations and know you probably won't make them or you will be disappointed and blow your whole plan.

Remember this is for life so in the end it doesn't matter if you get there in 4 months or not, you'll get there. Good luck

Welcome!

Plan your meals for a few days so you have everything legal in your home. Linda's recipe site is very helpful with delicious recipes - it will help keep you from eating the same thing over and over -- http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/menus.html. The closer you follow the plan the better your results will be.

Exercise, take a non-iron multivitamin and drink a minimum 64 ounces of pure water (nothing added), daily. If you need anything we try to help each other here as much as possible.
