You got it. So much more rewarding when you realize you have more to gain from the weight loss than just what the numbers on the scale say. It can be anything from simply feeling like you have more energy to possibly reversing major health issues. If you have the excess weight to lose, there's NOTHING to lose by losing it. And I think the goals that have been set are realistic. You don't want to lose it too fast, especially if you have pre-existing heart issues of any kind.
