Welcome back Vicki! So glad you have decided to come to play! It is always nice having a bunch of support and we give it herehttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v151/MommyKatrina/T21/cheerleader.gif
I think your goals are attainable, but I think that you will be stressed trying to get there and well, stress for me = eating. I decided in Jan. to set my goal at 5 pounds a month - Jan. I did just that and then I have added 4 more onto that. So since Jan. I have lost 9 pounds. So if you are calculating, no that isn't 5 pounds a month by any stretch of the imagination, but I am pleased with what I have done and what I am doing. The important thing is I have kept that 5 pounds off with no problem which means I did right. I didn't cut out any food completely, satisfied all my cravings and didn't feel stressed about hitting a bit too high of a goal. People are starting to tell me I look like I am losing wieght. If you break it into lower increments you are more likely to reach them and in a healthy way that you can continue doing forever. KWIM??? If you do that, you'll still hit your goal around September and you can start the school year as 'one hot momma'! At any rate, welcome back and good luck - do it to relax and feel better, not to feel stressed and deprive yourself of anything
