I have finally become tired of the way I look, feel and the way people see me. I'm overweight, always tired and just flat out depressed about it. I'm determined to get this excess weight off of me.

Determination and will power can only get you so far. It's about support, in order to be successful, you need as much support as possible.

My first goal is to lose 40 lbs by the start of summer.

If any of you out there need some extra support from someone who needs extra support, I'm here for you.

Let's do this, let's make ourselves better for ourselves and let's impress everyone who thinks we can't!

    Forty pounds is a pretty aggressive goal for your time frame. Don't set yourself up for failure by choosing something unlikely to be accomplished.

    How much do you have to lose? Age, sex, height, weight?

    I need to lose a total of 60lbs, I think 10lbs per month until June is possible for my 40lb goal. I have colon health issues my Dr's want me to get to at least a max weight of 155-165. I'm 25, 5'9 and weigh 216 lbs.

    Hello! Feel free to friend me. I have 30lb to go, started needing to lose 40lb. Just take it one day, one week at a time. :)

    Summer is 4 months away at least. You may not lose 40 by then, but you can damn sure be well on your way!

    P.s. If you legitimately have anyone in your life that "thinks you can't" I suggest you keep them at a healthy distance :)

    I completely agree, it was just a generalized statement. I have a great support at home, I live with my boyfriend and he decided to help support me by exercising with me everyday. :smile:

    With only 60 pounds to lose, a goal of 2.5 pounds per week would great an overly aggressive calorie deficit that could eat into your lean muscle mass. Try setting your weekly weight loss goal for 1.5 pounds per week and see how you feel eating that many calories. Once you get under 50 pounds, change your goal to 1 pound per week.

    Keep carbs below 100 grams/day. :)
