So, I decided this morning that I want to be 130lbs by my birthday, which is June 15th. I currently weigh 138lbs.

I know, I know... 8 pounds in 4 months. SHOULD be totally doable, right? my problem is that weight loss has always been a very sloooow process for me, and i have never reached one of my goals in the past. I really want to reach this goal.

I am looking for some motivational/nutrition guides on how to do this. I am currently in week four of p90x, and don't really have any troubles when it comes to exercising. I enjoy it, and can work out consistently with little problem. My big problem is eating properly, without "cheating" (... is it still cheating if it happens daily..?). Are there any tips that people have on ways that I can keep myself on track, mostly with diet? Any pictures that people use to keep themselves motivated, etc.?

I was thinking of monitoring my eating more closely. I am thinking of staying around 1500-1800 calories per day, and trying to keep my carbs under 125 grams (i am a carb-aholic). any feedback? advice?

really appreciate it. :)
 
For the first week try writing down everything you eat and totting up the calories

And weigh yourself once a week, when you see the scale going down it motivates you to keep going, and if it goes up it motivates you to try harder

When I feel like cheating what I either do is eat something else, think about the consequences of cheating, or when I crave chocolate I have a little 110 calorie chocolate bar.

I don't really know that much about nutrition so I'd wait until some more experieced people reply

Good luck! And good for you with the exercise!

This is a quote I ask several people if they've heard of before (modified for you):

"Will that taste as good as meeting my goal feels?"

Thinking of this might help you. The answer will most likely be "no" right? ^_^

Haha are you referring to the quote "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"?

I like your version of it! I'll have to remember that its very wise.
 
lol i know what you mean. i often measure food in whether the taste is worth the calories. lol bad thing is too many foods are lately. need to change that i guess.. sigh lol
