    Hopefully, I'll loose more than 20 by then. But 20 is a start!

    Anyone following a particular diet? I am thinking of either doing gluten free of paleo just so I can be confident that I will reach my goal.

    It may not be 20lbs, but its all about the support right?? And I am really going to need it especially with the holidays lurking among us. I used to be active with MFP, but I got caught up in moving across states... Now that I am somewhat settled I need to get back in the groove and lose all this weight I gained back and some. I'm looking forward!!

    GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL :)
    +++++ AND SENDING Y'ALL POSITIVE VIBES!! +++++

    That's not a healthy rate at which to lose weight. You need 4-5 months to put off 20 pounds the healthy way. One of the main determinants of success is setting realistic goals.

    No particular diets because they never really work for me (I'm not that disciplined enough .....yet), but I am just doing mini weekly goals and keeping within my calories.
    For example, one week no red meat, another week low carb, another week "be a vegetarian."
    Its just a lil something to keep me motivated. Good luck with what you are planning to do. :)
