Average Loser

If I'm losing an average of 1.5 lbs a week then when will I reach 199 lbs? Lets do the math shall we?
At my current weight of 260 I need to lose 61 lbs to reach my next goal.
61 divided by 1.5 = 40.6. Lets call it 47.
It'll be approximately 47 weeks to reach 199 lbs. Lets put a calendar date to that number.
Today is Tuesday November 26. We'll call this week 1.
My target date is Monday October 13 2003!
I'm not a real math whiz but that looks about right to me. This all could be thrown off by injury or ingesting too much holiday goodies but I'm optimistic that this is a goal I can achieve although it is almost a year away. Now is the time to start setting intermediate goals along the way to the Big Kahuna!
Stay tuned for information on my 5K plans.
