    Hi all ! I am a 23 yr old female.. When I was born, I weighed 13 pounds (birth weight) making me one of the heaviest babies in the world. I have always been heavy. Currently I weigh 76 kg and am 165.7 cm tall. I joined myfitnesspal.com when I was 78 kg heavy. Looking forward to slimming down so that I could also inspire my Fiancee :)

    Hi from Miami, FL, Gemma! I'm 31 and I'm also happy to support you in your endeavors. I'm looking to lose 75 lbs (I'm already down 35) and I was hoping to lose about 30 more pounds in the next 3 months, so I kinda have the same goal as you. Please feel free to add me! Hope to talk to you soon!

    Good morning and good luck. Having a goal is a great place to start.

    I think want to lose 10 pounds in a month, then I'll set a new goal.

    I am trying to just get back into exercise daily.

    Yeah good idea, I mean if after a month I don't think I am on target to lose I am definitely going to re-evaluate, I like your plan! Good luck lovely :-)

    That's very ambitious and will require complete dedication and a lot of will power ! But not impossible. It will become like a second job trying to maintain the rate of loss you need to get there. Don't get discouraged and if you feel yourself starting to burn out.......that's when you change up your routine again and dig in even harder!! Best of luck to you :)

    Hi :-) yeah it is very ambitious, but as I have the whole summer off of university (and currently no job) I am hoping to spend a lot of time exercising to get to where I want to be. I am definitely going to re-evaluate my plan and goals every month, thanks for the advice and support :-)

    I generally am against setting goals to lose X amount of weight in X amount of time. That is not something that you can control. You can, however, set nutrition and fitness goals. You have complete control of those. I've noticed that when people set goals about how much weight they will lose by a certain date, if they don't achieve that number, they get discouraged and give up.

    I think it differs with every person to be fair, I know my target is high and if I don't feel I am on target for it in 1 month's time then perhaps I will have to look further into what I am eating and set a new plan. I think it's important that people have goals to work towards as long as they re-evaluate every month or so. Thanks for the advice though, I am sure there are many people it will help.

    I don't think there's anything wrong with being ambitious, just be prepared to adjust once you see how you're progressing :) And don't get discouraged if you do have to change your goal.

    Good luck to you. That is very ambitious. Just a couple tips. Typically when someone trys to lose a lot of weight extremely fast it doesn't stay off because you've have to do such drastic measures to obtain the goal. If you want to lose the weight in a healthy and sustainable way, it will take you longer. I don't know where your calorie goal is but lower is not better and make sure you are eating back your exercise calories. Netting 1200-1300 calories a day will make you lose weight but it's neither healthy nor sustainable. Good luck to you again and I hope you choose to do this in a healthy manner.

    Welcome and good luck in your journey. I wanted to suggest trying "Dr Zevia". Zevia is a soda you can get at some health food stores or probably online if you can't find it. It's a bit pricey but depends how addicted you are to soda. Even just to wean yourself off. It's made with a natural sweetener - stevia, and something else that's not too bad. No calories and doesnt have that diet soda taste although it doesnt taste like sugar either. Most importantly, any diet or regular sodas are so bad because they have harmful chemicals.

    This is some of the greatest advice I have had yet!! I knowit sounds silly, but I am craving Dr. Pepper haha. Thanks for this, definitely going to look into it.

    Yeah I have heard this a lot, thanks for the concern. I am going to start at 1,200 I think, but hopefully will increase before my weight loss has been achieved. As long as I work hard to burn more than I eat, I am going to be happy with myself :-) Once again, thanks for the advice.

    I am sure if you work hard enough you could look better than kind of good in your bathing suit by the end of summer. If you work hard, you will feel your confidence growing, I already am! :-) Good luck x
