    I applaude your decision to lose weight but that is a very very high goal in less than 11 months unless you're extremely obese.

    Most people would suggest a goal of 2lbs per week with 100 lbs to lose and that goal will drop the closer you get to your goal weight. You won't lose 2lbs every week esp when you get to having around 40lbs or less to lose.

    I would suggest 50lbs, more realistic and you're less likely to get demotivated on bad weeks.

    Good luck with your weightloss regardless of what you chose to do.

    Add me. Sent friend request.

    The problem is that it seems so far..and food is so delicious and immediate gratification. I am doing well, and have lost 8 pounds. Been exercising, eating right. But I want a Skinny body today! Not so fast.

    I am sure most of you can relate. But I am going to get there this year. One day at a time.
