    I have about 50 lbs to lose as well.. Going from about 224 to 155. Maybe we can keep each other motivated? Because, God knows I need it!!

    I recently had a blood test & my cholesterol was high :( doctor recommended diet & exercise - DUH! lol - and I'll go back for another test in December.
    I would love to have great results & am aiming to be out of the 200's by then. Working hard to lose at least 40lbs before my next blood test. So I'll join all of you with similar goals!

    Hello all! I too have a goal to lose 50 lbs by December, but would like to continue that weight loss following reaching the initial goal. I just started my fourth week into my journey, and I am down about 12 lbs. I have been trying to hit the gym daily, it helps that is only about 6 minutes from my house, and the owner is a friend. I would be glad to join in and offer the support. The more the merrier!

    Certainly do-able. Just concentrate on the long term by making small changes and you'll get there with no problem. I'm down 50 and just re-set my goal to lose another 20, but at this point the small changes have become habit, so no longer seem like changes.

    Good luck!

    It is possible. I have lost 74 in the past 4 months, and I know of many others who have done similar. However, I have significantly more to lose, and I am a man. Both of these worked in my favor. And it took a lot of dedication. Running 3-4 times a week. And REALLY cutting calories significantly.

    HOWEVER . . . I REALLY suggest you don't put yourself on a timeline, especially one that is so harsh. You CAN lose this weight, but you MIGHT NOT be able to do it on your timeline. If you have a timeline, it may just make you frustrated. If you start now and just keep the needle moving in the right direction, I PROMISE that you will feel and look better in December than you even IMAGINE now. However, you MIGHT NOT be 50 pounds down. If that is discouraging to hear, then you really, really should not give yourself a time deadline. Like I said - just keep the needle moving in the right direction.

    Hi, I'm Rebekah, from Texas! I started my journey earlier this year at 215 and REALLY committed a few months ago to changing my nutrition and working out 5-6 days/wk. I've been able to lose 31 lbs so far and my goal is to lose 50 lbs as well; goal weight 135 because I'm not that tall :wink: Doing that by the end of this year would be fabulous! I'm up for being your virtual fitness pal! :smile:

    Hey! I'm a Texas girl too starting at 206 & wanting to get down to 135! I'm so excited to start and I'm glad to see someone with a similar goal! I'd love to join y'all for accountability!
