Hi Changed my Target Weight Loss Plan. Every Time I saw 80 lb I had a bit of Panic and felt it might be unachievable:

So here is my New Target Planner:

Target 1: 28 lb = 214 lb
Target 2: 15 lb = 199 lb
Target 3: 14 lb = 185 lb
Target 4: 14 lb = 175 lb

That will be 12 st 5lb

Even viewing it now it looks easier and more achievable

diet buddy needed
Hi Im also at college and twice yr age ,also on a budget, I also want to drop a huge amount of weight at least 65lb but 85lb, if I could, but have you a very tiny and small petite frame to want to drop to 120lb???
Could you try for a smaller weight loss or break it down, Since Ive come on site Ive changed my target also copied some of the bio's, I put in Target Steps and put in the smaller weight loss targets. Each time I saw 80 lb esp. on a bad day, I felt it was inpossible, but we are all different and you might be made of stronger stuff,
As a mum who has been on a tight budget for years here are few tips that helped me survive
1; Shop late at night or get up 1 hr early and go around local supermarket for reduced items,
2; Strike up a "friendship" with some1 in there, you'd be suprised what is being reduced that day,
3; Cut out and use every money off voucher you can get yr hands on,
4; When you get good at this, you will know what is the best day to get the bargains
5; Ask and use yr student discount every where,
6; always make yr lunch at home, if it is a sandwich and you dont want to eat it after bringing it, take it home and toast it and have a salad or something with it.
Hope you accept this MATURE STUDENT as a buddy
