where to start. hi, i'm cece and i am from dallas, texas. i am almost 39 and need to lose about 80 pounds total but this year the goal is 60. nothing crazy, just a little over a pound a week. i think that is completely doable. if all i lose this is year is 20 lbs i will consider it a victory. the only way to lose the weight is slowly so that it will stay off. i didn't gain it overnight and i won't lose it overnight. anyhoo. i have a feeling that myfitnesspal is going to be that push i needed to get these last 80 lbs off. my doctor would be happier if i lost 100 but hey, 80 is great too!

    Hang in there Cece. I have only been doing this for a little over a week and I find that it is the best thing I have ever tried. I am just weeks away from turning 60 and I have 150 to lose, so I KNOW how you feel and then some. I am trying to be reasonable also in not expecting to lose it all overnight. I am hoping to lose at least 2 lbs per week, but I would be happy with any loss. It's going to be a long road ahead, but if we all hang in there together; this is a great way to do it without having to pay someone to help guide us down this weight loss path. Stay strong and PRAY. Good Luck.
