I am officially down 12.5 pounds in 1 month! I am pretty happy, but I am still battling the "I am doing so well and trying so hard, I want the INSTANT result" 10 more pounds to go until July 18th . I have this date in mind as I have a family wedding that night, and a friend's wedding the week after.
I am not sure it is doable, and I would still be happy with another 5 lbs.
My ultimate goal is 20 pounds loss from now, then over the next several years work on reducing my body fat % and perhaps lose abother 5 lbs after that.
It's my adult life weight goal I am after.
When I think about the reasons I want to lose weight, the obvious ones DON'T come to mind. I want to lose weight to be able to wear the cute clothes and not worry that I am bulging out. I want to buy clothes because I like them, not because they just fit me or hide my flaws. I want to be the hot wife, the yummy mummy. I should get my priorities staight, but meh...this is working for now.
My challenge over the next week will be a work trip to Montreal where much restaurant and conference eating will be my nemesis. My goal is to not gain back more the 2 pounds. I will report back with the results....

Ya, my priorities are skewed too in many respects, but it's got to be whatever works, right?
Regardless, 12.5 lbs is a great loss in 1 month!! Good luck with staying on track while in MTL - as I found out first hand, it's a bitch. You can do it though!
Thanks for sharing this! I lost 15 last month and am excited, but I want instant results, too!
