Weight Loss Goals

I began a sort-of diet in September. I weighed 226 then, my highest weight ever except when I was pregnant. I can't believe I'm revealing that. I don't talk about my weight with anybody; I even try to avoid using numbers when talking with my husband.
********
I lost 12 pounds between September and December.

I have set my weight loss goals in increments so that I might feel like I've been successful sooner. ;) Because I need affirmation like that. Here are my incremental goal weights:

205 pounds

Significance: the weight I was at when I got pregnant both times

a weight loss goal of 21 pounds

I am 7 pounds away from reaching that goal!

********

180 pounds

Significance: the weight I was at when my best friend, Summer, got married in September 2002

a weight loss goal of 25 pounds, or 46 pounds total

********

165 pounds

Significance: the weight I was at when I got married in July 2003

a weight loss goal of 15 pounds, or 61 pounds total

********

150 pounds

Significance: the weight I was at through most of college

a weight loss goal of 15 pounds, or 76 pounds total

********

135 pounds

Significance: the weight I always wanted to get to when I was at my most fit in college

a weight loss goal of 15 pounds, or 91 pounds total

********

I have told myself that I will be very happy to get to the 165 goal. The truth is that I don't know if I CAN get down to less than that. My body just isn't the same shape (let alone size) since I had my children. I do get encouraged by looking at all the ladies (like on The Biggest Loser) who have children but still get skinny. I just don't know if MY body can do that. I wore a size 14 when I weighed 165, and I WOULD be happy with that.
