in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone! I have been "a bit" to a "a lot" overweight for most of my life. I am determined to change this around - and if I don't do it now - its only going to get harder as I get older.

I am determined to lose 30 pounds in 100 days so I can finally put an end to feeling like "I will always be overweight!" OR I will never be fit and healthy. I was reading some of the forums and people have done some amazing work! I am inspired.

If someone wants to join in, help or provide encouragement please do!! Tips are welcome too!

I'll be trying to post everyday!

Love and light to all,
G

    Hey! That sounds like a good goal for my size as well. About 2 lbs a week for 14 weeks, I think I can do it. I'm in!

    Just something to bear in mind:

    Hitting thirty pounds in 100 days is doable for some and overly ambitious for others. How difficult it will be depends to some degree on how heavy you are right now. If you are only thirty pounds above goal it will be much more difficult than if, after losing 30 pounds, you will still be very overweight.

    Think of it as losing a percentage of your body weight. 150 to 120 is 20% of your body weight. 300 to 270 is 10% of your body weight. Clearly, losing 10% is easier on you than losing 20%.

    Best wishes to you!

    I guess so, I only have 3 lbs left to go to reach 30! Haha

    Although losing 30 more I doubt I will even try to do in 30 days. Just because the closer you get to your goal, the slower you try to lose, ex. 2 lbs/ week in the beginning vs. the end of the goal: .5 lbs/week.

    Doable but not smart! If you lose more than 1.5 pounds a week you are losing muscle and not fat!

    it is a good goal if you are very overweight, but... it is a little ambitious for most people. hopefully you plan to do it the healthy way, by eating food. just a little less than you burn.

    in my experience i have been more successful when i set my goals around fitness rather than weight. that scale makes us slaves....

    and overly ambitious goals can set one up for a feeling of failure.

    a very overweight person will see a few weeks of more than 1-2 pounds but then it will taper to 1-1.5 most weeks until the end when it will be even less.

    someone without much weight to lose may not even get the dramatic increase in the first few weeks.

    it took me 4 1/2 months to hit my 30 pound mark.... and i was vigilant. at the gym 5 days a week and almost never going over my allotment of food.

    not that i am saying nobody here can do it. i am sure some can. but be healthy, and if you dont... understand its because you may not be likely to, not because you are a failure. . slow and steady weight loss is the best for your body :)
