So when I restarted this weight loss effort for the umpteenth time on 12/28/17 at 196.5 lbs I set a weight goal of 179. It seemed far away, but more realistic than my actual goal weight of ~168.

Well week by week, pound by pound, small change by small change I’m down the 17.5+ pounds I set out to achieve. Just look at the weight loss chart! With all goals, I will enjoy this achievement, but I have set a new goal of 165!

When I first started my weight loss efforts at 222.6 lbs in 2010 my goal weight was 168 and my ultimately goal weight was 155. I think 165 is a realistic and happy medium in terms of BMI, body fat percentage, maintenance, etc.

I’d love to hit the 160s by my 35th Birthday on August 4th!

Let’s do this!
