Three more milestones

Published by Helen on September 2nd, 2009 in bigtalk.

Did I tell you my project plan? No? Really?

I’m not surprised. I didn’t really have one articulated in my head. Other than losing weight I haven’t told many people how much I want to lose. And though I’m not quite ready to tell everyone how much I weigh right now, I can share this.

I want to lose 134 lbs. That’ll get me to a “normal” BMI for my height. To get to this goal I have three more milestones.

  1. The next milestone to reach is to have lost 100 lbs. I’m 4.6 lbs away.
  2. The milestone after that is to reach a BMI that says I’m overweight, not obese. I’m less than 2 points away from that.
  3. The final milestone is really the goal – a loss of 134 lbs from my weight in November 2008.

I’m projecting reaching my goal sometime in March 2010. Thinking about my weight loss as a project plan, i.e., using the milestone terminology, helps me keep my eye on the prize.
