in Motivation and Support
Hi everyone! My name is Jennifer. My family and I are leaving next December to visit family in another country. I would love to lose 77 lbs minimum.
I would love to have some friends on here to keep me motivated with your own weightloss stories!!

    That's exactly the amount of weight I want to lose as well, but I doubt very much I can lose than much in just one year as I am old and have yo-yo dieted for the past 30 years and have only been able to lose about 30 pounds in any given weight loss effort. Once down that much I haven't been able to break through to the next lower level and start to slowly regain some of the lost weight. So, my goal for the next year is to break that plataue of not being able to get below 30 pounds lost. I want to lose 40. But I have a suspicion if I can break that, then I will be able to go to 50,60, 70 and beyond. ... I don't allow friends on MFP ... but I participate in weight loss challenges and love the comraderie from the other participants.
    Good Luck.

    to be honest.
    i worked my *kitten* of this summer. rode 2 or 3 hours of mountain bike every day. dropped my calories to 1300 and had a calorie deficit every day.

    i lose 38lbs in 6 months.

    it can be done. but be prepared to work for it
