I am a newly engaged  5'6", 31 yr old gal with two sons. I dedicated myself this year to becoming more healthy (which includes weight loss), but weight loss is mostly a side benefit in my mind. 

 My weight goal (since I think its best to have one) is 160 by next march because the wedding is in April. I started at 233.5 in January and am down to 201 right now.

I have not met a single mini-goal I have set for weight. I wanted to be under 200 by the 4th of July and I'm still not there and its almost August! Its very frustrating to feel like you're working so hard and getting no where. I'm not losing inches either, so its not like my workouts are tightening me up and it just hasn't showed up yet on the scale!

Here are my mini-goals as set up by the accountability thread I joined:

Goal for 8/31: 194

Goal for 9/30:  187

Goal for 10/31:  180

Goal for 11/30:  174

Goal for 12/31: 167/168

I struggle with staying away from sweets without feeling deprived. So I try to incorporate a treat into my calorie allowance every few days. I want this to be a life-long health change, so i want to make sure that I'm able to sustain it. I also dearly wish I knew how to bust open a plateau that I seem to hit every 2 months! Right now I've been in my plateau since about May and that is just WAAAY too long!

 I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you.....   So keep in touch!!!
