Hey, I'm Katie, I'm 24 in Minneapolis, MN. Need some friends to help motivate and share tips. Got 50lbs to drop and some serious toning up to do.
Say hello!

    Hello Katie. Good luck on your weight loss. My only advice to you is to set realistic goals. Don't go into it with the mindset that you are going to lose 50 pounds in two months or something like that. When people set unrealistic goals they quickly realize that it is impossible to meet and give up completely. Just shoot for a pound a week, get into the habit of incorporating a healthy diet into your life, and make sure you get plenty of exercise. Losing weight isn't just a temporary thing, it needs to become a lifestyle change.

    Thanks for the sound advice! I should have been a little more detailed, I plan on fifty pounds by the end of the year which is roughly a pound a week. Thank you for the support and input! I appreciate it :D
