    It's not easy being a parent and going to school at the same time, and losing weight will give you the energy you need. I believe you will succeed, and I applaud your public declaration. It shows you mean business. :)

    Do you mean by the 1st of March, meaning you plan to lose 35 pounds in 2 months? 17-1/2 pounds per month? Nope - I won't. I'd have to be on a starvation diet, and I'm experienced to know that if it works, it will only be temporary, and I'll be up 50 pounds by the end of the year. I'd rather take the whole year to lose 35 pounds and have it stay off.

    Do you go to the Gym. how long did it take you to lose the weight? I am 24 and have 3 kids and i just started my diet 6 days ago and i work out at the gym 3 times a week, just wondering how long it will take me to drop some lbs. I am 155lbs and want to be around 145!!

    If you do this the healthy way, eat right, exercise, etc. you can expect to lose 1-2 pounds a week. The body fluctuates a LOT so try not to base it just on the number on the scale... maybe shoot for a new body fat % or on how your clothes fit. You could easily way yourself in the morning and be at your 145 goal and be over 150 that same evening, so try not to let that get you down! You will be at your goal in now time :)

    That is pretty quick. I hope to be down 30 lbs by next September. I gave myself a 18 month goal last February/March to lose over 100 lbs. I am down 105lbs. have about 30-35 to go... Don't be too hard on yourself. Get there meaningfully so you keep it off. :) Best of luck in your journey!

    By March 1st I hope to be down another 14 pounds, making my loss the big 50. I'm still big enough that I could probably do some wacky things and lose 30 pounds in two months...but I love food and not feeling like balls, so I'll stick to 14.

    I agree with you. You just have to do it and not have reason why you can't do it.

    You can do it! I plan to be down 22lbs by March and I have 3 kids and work. I can't imagine adding a toddler and school into the mix but you can do anything you put your mind too!

    I am doing this for myself and it will be healthy. I am just not going to be quiet about loseing weight anymore. I will set my goals high and do them this time. :) Good luck with your goals!

    I would love to say I could be but I don't set a certain weight to a certain time. I take it as it goes and reward when I get to certain pounds or sizes. I've been focusing on my NSV's=Non Scale Victories. I wish you luck getting to that 35 pounds...and would love to know if you make it.
