Update

I haven't been to the gym since the first week of October (which I forgot to write about, lol), but I've somehow managed to lose 17 pounds! Woohoo! At the end of September I went to the doctor's office, and I weighed 272, my highest weight ever. I am working at the vet clinic right now, on winter break, and I weighed in at 255 the other day. Very exciting, let me tell you! It said 257 today, but different times of day/after eating/etc make a difference, so I'm not going to worry about it too much. My clothes are fitting somewhat better, and even though I haven't been working out due to time constraints, I have also almost eliminated my fast food and soda consumption. I think that's the real reason I've lost some weight.

Previous goals:

Immediate goal: 250 lbs by Halloween
Moderate goal: 235 lbs by Christmas
Long term goal: 170 lbs


Updated goals:

Current weight: 257 as of today
Immediate goal: 250 lbs by January 31st
Moderate goal: 235 lbs by Easter
Long term goal: 170 lbs


I think these goals are much more realistic.
