Thats my goal. I'm 150 lbs and I want to get down to 120 lbs. And I've tried to do this before, but I always lose motivation. Any advice?

    I'm just about to hit 30 pounds lost myself, 40-ish to go. I had to set smaller goals because the 70 or so was too overwhelming!! Seriously, celebrate the small victories! 5 pounds is amazing too!! Besides that, just try to be more active and be aware of your food choices. Simply keeping my house clean and counting calories has helped me a lot!! :) I was did a 5k in April and working towards a 10k in Oct.

    Just try to keep the goal in mind. Once your clothes start fitting better it's more and more motivation to keep going! I started at 151 now i'm down to 131....you can totally do it!! And everyone here is here to support you!

    You can do it!!!
    I did it (same goal) and lost the 30 lbs in 123 days. This site has been so helpful and encouraging. I am currently going for an extra 5 lb loss. Have one lb to go.
    If I can do this anybody can!

    Best of luck to you! :flowerforyou:

    Your goal is almost identical to mine-- I started at 148lbs and I'm shooting for 120lbs. This site is very, very effective as long as you're honest with the numbers. The best advice I can offer is to not get discouraged, even when it seems slow-going-- I've had a week or two where I stayed steady or actually *gained* a pound for no reason that I could see, but then by the next week I was back on track again.

    I happy with every single pound :) But, I'd celebrate every 5. Pick up a bag of sugar, that's a fair amount of weight :)
