Morbidly Obese, I really need help!

Everyone on here is so nice. I am so happy I found this site. What are realistic goals that I can achieve before Xmas? I am so ready to lose this weight. As people have said I think I need to set small goals for myself because looking at how much weight I have to lose seems like an impossible task, but if I look it like I want to lose 5 kg before New Years seems so much easier to achieve. This might seem superficial, but what happens to the stretched skin?

before xmas? depends on your commitment, focus, diet and exercise.

5 kg by new year is probably realistic - but more important is to start being aware of what you are eating and where those excess calories are coming from.
Start by recording everything you eat. Whether its healthy or not, write it down. After a few days have a look at the patterns and you will soon see which foods are bringing you lots of cals and not many nutrients.
Start small - you don't have to change everything at once. Maybe pick one meal per week and look for healthier options.
Get moving anyway you can - walk, wii, dance, anything to get your body moving.
Good luck!

Yes 5 kg is definitely achievable by New Years - possibly more! Log everything you eat - it works and you'll lose weight. Be patient though - it seems hard at first but you'll get addicted and start loving it soon enough. Get excited girl! Your life is about to improve - in every way!

Don't stress about loose skin - you're young and working out will help.
