    Don't put too much pressure on yourself. That will only set you up for failure. Instead, focus on smaller goals that will get you to your goal in October. Focus on getting yourself healthy in terms of what you eat and how much you exercise and the results will follow. You can do it.

    The best way to achieve your goals is to NOT pay too much attention to them. SERIOUSLY! You must treat this as a lifestyle change that will lead you to success, rather than try and get to a weight destination. Just get up, do it, and see where you are come October!! SOOO many people treat getting in shape as a destination, that when reached, means you're done. NOT!! Your goal should be to move more and eat less, for life, not for a wedding, not for a bathing suit, nuttin! Once that mindset is adopted, the rest will fall into place.

    I agree with not pressuring yourself too much. I know how easy it is to get discouraged. Like others said on here, try focusing on just getting fit and feeling better than a specific weight-loss goal. Just focus on doing a little bit every day...and relish that the soreness in your muscles means you are getting fit!

    Good luck with your fitness goals! :):) You can do it!

    I agree break that 30 pounds down to smaller goals and work towards it. Another friend of mine on MFP is down 30 lbs and did it in 3 months. It's doable...don't be to hard on yourself!

    Try not to beat yourself up to much. I know how hard it seems at times but you can do it. For me, if I focus too much on what I have done wrong I start to feel defeated and want to give up. I encourage you to start back on your plan today and continue to move forward and let the past stay in the past. Welcome. :flowerforyou: This is a great site for support.
