Need Help reaching my goal

Dayeonaira

Hi, Today is my first day on MFP. I have set myself several goals because i know if i try to rush myself into reaching my perfect weight i will get overwhelmed and frustrated. Im 5ft 9 and 228lbs i hold all of my weight in the abdominal and chest region. I have the bottom half of a size ten, so i would really like to even out lol.

Looking for friends who can motivate and support me through the process, to me the first two weeks are where i need the most support because this is the time where i usually give up

Weight loss is the hardest thing I've tried to do! I have similar stats, I'm 5'10" and weigh about 227 right now. Add me as a friend if you want! I'm on here about every day!

Im really 5 9 and 3 quarters lol, in high school i was 5 11 and with the weight gain after having two kids i seem to have shrunk. for your heigh and bone structure what is your goal weight.

Thats what confuses me at max the charts say i should be 176 however the lowest i have been is 180 and i looked perfectly healthy at that weight.

I'm here for ya! I can relate losing weight can be a very stressful task especially when you have a lot that you want to lose. But having a great support system and setting realistic goals and expectations is a HUGE part of it.

I joined MFP January 7th, 2012 weighing in at 242 lbs (highest I have EVER been!-including pregnancies) It was a bit overwhelming imagining the amount of weight I would have to lose just to get to a healthy BMI. But I just decided "its time"!!! I was/am tired of being over weight and unhealthy... And here I am a little over 60 days into the journey and LOVING IT! One of the best decisions I have ever made!!! You CAN do this! You will do this... just got to stay motivated, and that is where your friends/yourself come in hand! Feel free to send me a friend request.

I still have 30-40 lbs to lose... at least. I am 5'10 (well... 5'9.5)

Start weight: 242 lbs (January 7th)
Current weight: 203.4
Goal weight: 170
