I just know that at 271 when I started,I was just too overweight. Luckily I carry weight relatively well but 271 was bigger than I have ever been in my life...now 3 weeks later I am just at 264 (after I screwed up and cheated)...I feel like I have to really put my nose to the grind stone and make it happen.
I have a closet full of clothing that I can't even get in to and it huts because I used to wear ll of those things the past 3 years...In 2004 I was 160 ish, but I carried it well and I wore a size 10...now I am 264 and wear a size 18-20. That freakin hurts....
It is like I am so anxious to see the weight come off. I think I may have to remove the scale from our bathroom and put it in the trunk of our car and only weigh myself once a week....weighing in can EASILY become an obsession and I just don't want to get too neroutic about it.
Even though this is my week 3, I put myself back on induction, I decided to go off of induction when I have lost 20 pounds. I am reading all over the boards. Any advice? Are my goals realistic:
Jan 29th is my 1 month mark, I want a 15 lb loss by then
Feb 29th -I want a 30-40 lb loss
March 29th- I want a 50-60 pound loss
I don't want to set goals too far beyond there other than my ultimate goal of 140 ish.

Instead of sucking up all that energy concentrating on your current weight and what you use to weigh, what clothes you can no longer fit, what the scale says - use that same energy and redirect it to staying on track.
Even if you go off path. Get back on track. Take it one day at a time instead of focusing on the whole 9 yards. Don't be so hard on yourself or your going to sabotage your own efforts. You know what your suppose to do, then do it and stop whining. It may not be as fast as you like, but it will come if you just stick to plan.
One of the many ways I like to look at it is that this is a project that has been given to me by my company director. I will not fail my director and I will not fail myself, I want to make him look good, I want to make me look good and in the end we will both get high praises. Each week you must make a project mangement report - did you stay on track? Track the project weekly. Will the project meet goal for the week? If not, what held the project up? There is no excuse for not completing the project. If the project was held up you must get it back on track, the company is depending on you, you are depending on you. You want to look good, you want to feel good, you want that praise, you want to put your best foot forward, you want to complete the project and get that raise, your name in the company newsletter, your peers praise, most importantly you want to do this for YOU. You want to shine. Now go ahead and act as the Project Lead and show 'em what ya' got...show 'em what your made of!!!
