    It's not luck you need. Its dedication, hard work, and the desire to be healthier. Keep those in mind and you'll be sussessful.

    Set realistic goals. It took me nearly 2 years to lose 100 pounds.

  • Shoot in a year you probably can lose all the weight you want .. just be dedicated and do not lose focus on your goal.

    Welcome Joannes! Your goal of losing 60 lbs is do-able, provided you keep on keeping on with the diet. I've lost 58 lbs since February. You'll find MFP is an invaluable help in tracking your food and exercise/ activity to keep you on the right path to a healthier lifestyle. You CAN do this - and be at your goal by Christmas 2014, or probably before.

    "The longest journey starts with a single step" and all you have to do is the best you can manage, every day. And when you make a mistake, or eat more than you meant to, forgive yourself and just keep on.
