20lbs by Christmas- who's with me?

I am! I dont know if I'll make it, but i will sure as hell try.

I'm in!

I plan on losing 35 pounds by then or at least try... let's do it

Count me in! I am surrounded by a bunch of fit girls my age group and it can get very discouraging. I'm trying to lose a solid 30lbs by then. I've gained 50 within a year and a half due to my depression and I am done letting it control me. I would love nothing more than support from people that are in my position.
I want my old image back, with my new life.

Feel free to add me as I have no friends on here.

I'd love to join this!!

Heck yes! I am so in

(anyone feel free to add me btw, I'm on every day)

I would love t, but I am pretty new at this lifestyle change. I'm not sure what to do and how to do it. Do you have any tips?

As Jacob said you have already made the biggest step!

My advice is only do what you are comfortable with and what you can sustain but also try and push yourself a little bit.

Set yourself a goal, it could be to do 200 minutes of exercise each week or to cover 10 miles each week etc and then post a daily update on your progress. This could be any kind of exercise that you enjoy, be it a sport, running, cycling, walking, classes, yoga etc

Over time as you get fitter try to up your goal so that you are always pushing yourself

Read through the forums for advice on food plans but the most important thing is to find what is right for you and what you can sustain. Everyone on here is so friendly and helpful there is plenty of advice around if you want it.

Get into the habit of weighing food portions, logging everything that passes your lips and pre planning your foods for the day so you can see what you are eating and see which area's you can improve on

If it works for you allow yourself a treat. Some people cant and have had to go cold turkey but for me I allow myself a sweet treat each day (currently iced gems and a starbucks) but I only allow myself that treat if I do my planned exercise

The most important thing is to see this as a positive change and to remember that there are so many people on here happy to help and support you as you go through your new journey x

I'd like to join in, dunno if I will manage it, but would love to try!

I'd love to join if there's still room! I'm currently in a "challenge" group but it ends in about a week and I'd love to have another outlet. 20 lbs by Christmas sounds like a goal I can get behind!
