    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.

    I'm in too! I'm a new mom and NEED to lose the baby weight plus what I was before. All around 130lbs! It's a very long term goal but that doesn't stop me. I am also in the morbidly obese category there, so I can totally relate! Everyone here is welcome to add me and we can all motivate one another. I'm down about 13lbs in 4 weeks already, every ounce is just one step closer. :D

    I am so in. I started on 01/23/15. I also started paleo and am so thankful that food is no longer my issue. I am not hungry, so that takes away the fight with food. Trying to stay motivated to exercise

    MFP will be your new BFF. The support you'll get from everyone is amazing. You have a massive cheerleading section that will keep you pumped up. A lot of your success will be determined by your attitude. A POSITIVE ATTITUDE WILL BRING POSITIVE RESULTS. :) It's mind over matter! IF YOU THINK YOU CAN CONQUER THIS.....YOU WILL! However the other side of this is if you think you can't.....you won't. Make MFP an OCD of yours over the next year. Log everything!!! Don't cheat the system cause you're only cheating yourself. Mark your calendar with a daily appt to get in some exercise! Don't break the appt because YOU ARE IMPORTANT not only to yourself but your family! It takes 21 days to make a habit, make this next 21 days the beginning of seeing a happier, more motivated, & more beautiful you! <3
    YOU'VE GOT THIS! NOW GO OWN IT! (*)
