My first goal was to lose 50 pounds. I did that over 2 months months ago and I was so excited. But lately I have been stuck at my current weight. My new goal and first goal I'm putting in writing for 2013 is reach my 100 pound  goal by my 21st birthday which is March 1st. As of right now, I have 22 pounds to lose and at the rate I'm going it seems unreachable. Positive thinking is better than negative so I'm going to work super hard on this and reach my goal in the next 39 days. I can just feel it! :)

Wish me luck!

  • *No more than 15 grams of Sugar per meal (more grams if able to tolerate-I allow myself up to 30 grams Sugar per meal from Simple and Complex Carbohydrate sources and also from Dairy products that are no fat/low fat because I do not seem to dump on Sugar)

Just stay the course.   You are doing great.   Stay motivated by looking at pictures at how you are changing, how far you have come, and making a list of the non-scale victories you have already accomplished.
