Re-evaluation

So i have been doing a lot of thinking this past week as I trudge through the upper 170s after the quick first 2 week weight loss....
I have decided to be more practical, and not base my success (necessarily) on the number on the scale. I have an idea in my head how I want my body to look, so I think its a matter of trying to shape it to look how I see myself in my head. My weight is a good guage on the progress I am making, but after the weight is lost where are you to go? Honestly, I dont think i can even start to really worry about "toning" until i lose at least 20 more pounds, and I want them to come off fast, but I have to brace myself to be realistic and think that they may only come off 5 pounds a month or so.
I WANT to be 155 for my wedding, but I should also put into my mind that if I lose the minimum weight per week I might only be 165 at the wedding. This is an ongoing process, one that I am proud to say I have stuck adamantly to for the past, almost, month. I can definitely tell a difference in how I look, but I i KNOW i can look even better...i wish it didnt have to take so long and that i didnt have to make so many sacrifices to do it, but I know it is totally worth it. The only regret I have so far is that I didnt start doing this earlier so i could be even skinnier!
