Or not. Your goals are too vague. Think of something definite with a date. Failure doesn't matter - it's actually good. Without failure, we don't learn.
Well, I don't know if I'd go that far
Carbonfiberboy. I'd rather watch you and learn from your mistakes. Anyway, the goal would be to lose 20 pounds by December. The plan would be the method you're going to use to accomplish that goal.
For example, lets say I wanted to lose 20 pounds by cutting calories. I simply put the normal portion of food I eat per meal on my plate, then cut it in half. No muss, no fuss, and no calorie counting. I'd save the other half for the next meal.
Again, that is just one example that worked well for me. There are 100 other plans, so your mileage may vary.
