Introduction

Hello. My name is Melissa B. I live in south Florida and I have always been curvy/quite overweight. While I wear it well for now (I am well proportioned) I know I won't for long! My fitness goals are long term and I would like to get down to about 140 and maintain that weight. That means I have my work cut out for me because at 178 I need to lose 38 lbs! Is it too fast to be wanting to reach this goal in 6 months? By the beginning of April I would like to be at my goal weight and at a point where I'm maintaining. I don't know, I've never gotten serious about losing weight until now so I'm new to this. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
