Don't feel dumB! I do the same thing with mini-goals. Here are mine.....

March 14th 275 lbs

October 12th 240 lbs

January 1st 2004 225 lbs

Basically as you can see, I am not going to hit my first goal. I will probably come in at around 285 instead of 275. That is fine with me, because I KNOW I will hit my 240 goal in Ocotober The Jan 1st goal would mean I lost 112 lbs in 12 months....that would be my ultimate goal
