    Welcome! I've got 55-60# to lose. I'm not looking at the big number just yet. My focus at this point(I've been on MFP on month and 6#) is the process. Logging my meals and every single thing I put in my mouth. I'm aiming for 3-4 exercise days/wk. I'm just changing one thing at a time. I'm not cutting any particular food or food group. I need this journey to be doable and lifelong. I've lost, quite literally, hundreds of pounds in the past 15 years. I don't want to quit again. I'm on MFP daily, so if there is anything I can do to support your efforts, please let me know. ☺

    This is great advice! Don't stare at 60 pounds to lose, just commit to logging everything you eat every day and moving more. :smile:

    Hi :)
    I'm from the UK too!

    I'll echo what other posters have said and split your weight loss in to smaller increments (example: 6lbs per month) You'll feel fantastic each time you hit a goal.

    Best of luck!

    You're not trying to lose 60 (or whatever) pounds. You're trying to lose 10 pounds 6 times. Each ten pound loss is a celebration of success.
