I have to agree with the previous 2 posters.

It's all well and good and a celebration IF you meet it, but what happens when you don't.

So many peoples attitude is tied up in the number (the scale) that if it fails to meet the expectation it puts them in a tailspin.

My advice--be true to your plan, partake in exercise if you can, if you have health issues, try to get them under control as best you can and enjoy the journey.

As someone very wise on this forum once said (Glendarc):

"Unfortuanately the rate of loss is controlled by our bodies, not our mind nor our will"

My focus this time around (the 3rd) was not to make the same mistakes that I made the first 2 times.

Good luck either way.

Progress not perfection.
