a goal for M (lyn)

M asked me to create a weight loss chart for her, similar to the one I once did for myself and more recently did for Gail.  It is highly motivating to project where you can be, by a specific date.  Consistent baby steps WILL result in one giant leap.  So here it is with a caveat:  the real chart includes columns for actual performance and headings that align correctly.  The highlighted events are key milestones for M, and the bold numbers show the projected cumulative loss, assuming a conservative weekly average loss of 1.5 pounds.


42 pounds gone by July 13; I know M can do it.  And then she can move beyond gorgeous new scarves and handbags, and head straight for those skinnier pants and dresses!
