Hello Everyone

I started the journey of weight loss and exercising at the end of January. I have only lost around 8 lbs. I do notice a change the way my clothes fit. I can see a difference in before and after.

I want to be down to what is considered my "healthy" weight 154 by April 25th. My birthday. I am 170 now. When I started in Jan, it seemed so realistic. It's frustrating that it doesn't know. I have been working so hard.

I would love any fitness friends!

    Congrats on the start of your journey. That is a lot to lose in a short amount of time. Not saying it is impossible but from experience you have a much higher chance of keeping it off if you lose it slower and steady...

    ^^this for the amount of weight you have to lose you should aim for .5-1 pound a week.

    I've had my account for a while and used it as a tool when I tried the HcG diet. It worked perfectly. I managed to go from 160 lbs to 118. I gained and maintained 122 for two years. Now I'm back up to 130. I know it isn't much but if I don't do something about it now I will be right back where I started from.
