Happy New Year!

I have tried multiple times to lose weight and have never had success at it. I always either maintain or gain no matter how much I seem to try. However, I am ready to put the old me behind me and try new things so I can finally achieve my weight loss goals. It is a new year after all and I want to start it off right and make it better than the last year.

I am looking to lose about 100 pounds in 24 months/2 years. That is about 4.17 pounds in a month and 1.04 pounds a week. If I could make this goal earlier than that timeframe, that would be amazing. That is obviously my overall goal but the best thing is to start off small. With that said, I would like to lose 25 pounds in about 6 months from now.

In order to achieve my goals, I am going to need a support group that will also help with motivation and encouragement. It be nice if ideas were also shared and possible success stories.

Let’s work together to 2018 make awesome!
