I didn't succeed at my August goal, but thats alright, I didn't think I was going to come as far as I did. My weight loss has slowed a lot, but I know & understand why. The less body fat I have the longer its going to take to lose it and I have been adding more lean muscle mass. Its all part of the process. If you watch "The Biggest Loser" once the women hit the 180's its like their bodies come to a screeching halt and their weight loss is slower from there. I have 27 more pounds till my goal weight of 160 and its probably going to take me until after the New Year to lose the weight. But you know what... Good things come to those who 'weight' (Pun intended... I know.. I'm cheesey). 

So now its time to set a new goal, if I make it I make it, if I don't... well.. I just don't. Life will go on & I will continue to lose weight at whatever rate my body will allow. Why have goals set then you say?!? Because a goal helps keep me in check and its a good motivational tool for me. Its like a race against my body & time. It helps me to push harder on those days when I just don't feel like doing the work.

The Goal: Lose 10 Pounds
