My personal goal for this year is to finally lose the 60 pounds that I have gained since before the birth of my daughter, Jenna, 19 1/2 years ago. I would love to be 60 pounds lighter by this time next year. That means I will have to lose an average of 5 lbs. per month.
This is about 1 1/4 lbs per week. I believe this is a doable goal.

By May 1st, I should have lost 20 lbs. putting me at a weight of 177 pounds and this would be more than 10% of my current weight lost, putting me in a better health position.

I am 50 years old now and will be 51 in July of 2009. By the end of July, I should have lost 35 lbs. putting me at a weight of 162 pounds. That will be a great achievement.

By the end of my son's birthday month, September, I should have lost 45 lbs. putting me at a weight of 152 pounds.

By end of December 2009, I should have lost the 60 lbs goal weight putting me at 137 pounds. This will be the weight where I will stay.
