in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone! I am new to the site - I am 5'11" and started at 270lbs. My weight has fluctuated all my life but I've never used an online community for support. I guess I'm hoping this keeps me motivate and on track. I started my life style change 2 weeks ago and have lost 13 pounds so far! I know its a lot for that short of time but at 270lbs, the first few always come off fast. I've been on a pretty strict diet Monday through Friday taking in only about 1700 calories and going to the gym pretty religiously usually running for 30 minutes and then lifting for another 30-40.

I am getting married on July 1st so I'm looking to get down to 225 by then. 45 pounds in 5 months?? We'll see how it goes...

    Welcome aboard! You are going to love this site.. it has provided me with so much motivation and support to reach my goals. I think your goal of getting down to 225 by July 1st is realistic and achieveable. It is a lot of hard work, dedication and patience but if you keep your mind positive and follow what works, you'll get there.

    I am also a bride this year (Oct 15th).. and hoping to drop the last of my weight prior to my wedding day. I know I can do it and so can you.

    I always come to these boards when I need motivation or when I feel the need to eat something terrible. Just reading a few posts changes my mood and motivation towards my goals. I hope you find this same motivation and success!!

    Good Luck!!! :flowerforyou: :drinker: :flowerforyou: :drinker: :flowerforyou:
