Hi Elizabeth!!

I don't think your goals are unrealistic at all, but what if you set smaller, mini ones at first. That way when you achieve them you can go onto another one. If I tell myself that I want to be 150 pounds and weigh 190, that's FORTY pounds I gotta drop. That's discouraging to me when I'm only dropping a couple pounds a month. Ugh.

But, if you set a smaller goal (like I want to drop 15 pounds by then end of July), then when you reach it, it's like YAY!!

You can do this ... this site is great motivation and support! Hang in there and drop us some notes if you have any questions or anything!
