I think it's better to have goals set with something you can control, like X carbs a day, x water a day. I'm losing rather slowly, but consistenly and while it might take me longer than I'd thought, I'm getting there. Had I said I will lose 60 pounds by April, I'd have been way off and extremely disappointed in myself. But thats just me.

One thing you might do is figure out your weekly average (not including weight lost during induction). Then you could multiply that number times the number of weeks til that event. That would give you a realistic number to use as a goal. I think if you include the big loss from induction in that average, it would be harder to reach your goal.

Good luck!
