That’s good!!! For me I would like to lose like 70 lbs to get back to high school/college weight but that will probably never happen so I’d like to at least get under a certain number lol which will take 35 lbs to get there.

Someone here on BYC (don't recall who) said she lost 100 pounds. She just told herself she wanted to lose 5 pounds. That is a resonable goal. And she did it 20 times.

Oh wow that’s amazing!!! Maybe I could do that then!!! But I don’t really NEED to be that skinny again, idk if it would even be good, but I could at least get back in the 100s.

So, tell yourself you want to lose 5 pounds. And do that as many times as you need to/can/want to to get to the weight you want to be.

Any excess weight that you lose will help your body in many ways! Your joints will thank you, your heart will thank you. So will your liver and pancreas.

Saying, "I want to lose 70 pounds" is a daunting task! Five pounds is a very realistic goal.

Maybe a good way to do it, baby steps!

Thanks!! That’s a good point and good idea. Maybe it will help the diabetes too. And definitely the liver.

Bruce are you getting this storm that we are going to get!?

Nope but it is going to be COLD Sat - Mon. Lows near or maybe below 0°F!!!!!
We were way above normal last week so I guess we have to pay for it by being way below next week.

No no no lol I’m shocked people are shocked I wasn’t gonna ask

Actually .... we aren't supposed to ask people's age on BYC. Mostly to protect the minors I think. So you did right!!

Nice! I need to lose at least that before April. It's not going to happen, especially with that Mocha Chocolate Almond ice cream in the upstairs freezer!

Stay downstairs!!!!

Maybe a good way to do it, baby steps!

Yep, proven time and again the best way for a heavy person to gain weight is to go on a weight loss diet. Lose a lot of weight fairly quickly and you are almost guaranteed to gain it all back with interest.

Lose a little, let your body get used to the "new normal" so it doesn't go into "I'm starving must eat" mode. Then do it again, just like the 100 pound loss person.
