5'9", wanting to lose 45lbs!

Options
I am a taller girl so I guess I would say I don't look as heavy as I am because I carry it in my curves. I'm wanting to lose 45lbs before the end of October and another 20-25 before May 2016. Does anyone have similar goals? I'm open to all scenarios. I really just want to stay motivated! =)

    Hi Sarah, I am after losing 50lbs, I know how you feel.
    I have difficulty getting motivated even though I really need to do this as I tend to get in exhausted.

    Hi Sarah,
    My suggestion is to sign up for a running race. Then you're focused on meeting weekly goals and ultimately finishing the race, not on the weight loss.

    If you go this route, make sure you continue to log what you eat. You can really trick yourself into thinking you've 'earned' more calories then you have.

    Good luck.

    Same size, approximately same weight loss goals. Let's help each other stay motivated. I have fallen off the wagon before. I really need to make it work this time
