Default 130 to lose
Hi everyone!

Four months ago, I started following the Atkins plan, and was doing really well, until surgery sent me off track. The doctor says I am supposed to weigh 140 pounds. I'd be thrilled to get down to 180. Heck, I'd be thrilled to get down to 200 at this point!

We are going on a tropical vacation in two years. If I lost five pounds a month between now and then, I will be much happier and able to enjoy the vacay much better. That's my goal. I want to enjoy life with my family, and although I don't have many health problems now, I know that time is not kind!

I would love to find a few journal buddies who are looking to receive and lend support!

Hi Marm! Welcome to the forum, to which I'm fairly new myself. A couple of threads I follow are the "lost 5 lbs challenge", currently #205, plus the "to goal in 2013" challenge.

It's fun and supportive. The recipe forums are awesome - I've made a lot of the dishes and I'm looking forward to an occasion to make a LC cheesecake!

Hey Marm
Welcome back. Looks like you and I have similar stats and I'm driven by the need to lose weight for vacations as well
I'll pop by your Journal to say hello as well

Hi Marm! Sounds like you have set a very reasonable goal, and I am sure you will attain it! And you have a great thing to look forward to as well! When things get tough just picture yourself in a cute swimsuit looking fabulous on the beach!! Major motivation!

Your motivation is pretty similar to mine! I went on a "dream vacation" to Disney World last September at 315 pounds and pretty much had a miserable time. My feet were so blistered and ruined by the first day in that I could barely walk, and there were lots of rides at Universal I couldn't fit on and had to just wait for my family. Guess what my reward is when I hit goal? ;-)
