80lb weight loss goal for year 2014

Options
Hello Everybody

I am new to this forum. I would like to lose 80lb in year 2014. I have always struggled my weight but I have always been able to lose weight but sadly gain it back. I have not been active for a long time however few days back I have joined gym and started working out. My starting weight is 215lb and I have been able to lose 10lb so far. I would appreciate any support i could get in this forum. Looking forward to make new friends and buddies. :smile:

    Yep I am really motivated to lose this weight by the end of year 2014. Hopefully by the end of 2014 I am able to shop smaller size dresses and be proud of myself.:glasses:

    You can do it. I lost 65lbs in one year! Jan 31, 2012-Jan 31, 2013. I had several weeks off during that time for vacations and traveling. Put your mind to it and take it 1 day at a time. I recommend giving yourself a cheat day once a week to reward yourself for doing good all week!

    I really like this recommendation of cheat day once a week however i am bit worried that wouldn't it make my all week efforts go bad and i will gain weight? How was your experience while losing weight ? Did it help you to stay motivated ?

    Good luck! My goal is 104 over 18 months, and if the MFP ticker wasn't broken, you'd see I'm down 39.
    One day at a time, and you'll get there.
