in Getting Started
Alright, everyone! I've been using MyFitnessPal for 2 years now, but not consistently. That HAS to change. I have a vacation to Maui planned for the week after Labor Day and I'd really like to not look like a beached whale while laying out on the beautiful white sand. It would be insulting to the sand! Anyway, I've got about 30/40 lbs to lose and I'd love to add some friends for support along the way! Add me and let's build each other up! This won't be easy...

God speed!

    You can do it stay focused and log EVERY day.

    I am going to Maui this Saturday for a week. My goal beginning of the year was to get into a two piece and look decent. I've achieved that goal. I am not where I want to be but the two piece looks good!

    So you can do it!!!

    LOL . . . I can sympathize with the Hawaii goal. We went a few years back with some friends and the motivation not to be the most out of shape person among them was sky high. Did not want that captured in pictures for perpetuity. Just keep consistent and work hard and you can make a big change in a few months. Every time you want to go down the cheat meal road and every time you are in the gym . . . just picture yourself with your improved look walking along the beach.

    I used to live on O'ahu and visited Maui a lot. You've got this. Oh and the sand there isn't white ;) There are black and red sand beaches there though!!

    We are going to Hawaii in December; Maui and Oahu. My goal is to lose 35 lbs before that trip. I have my weekly weight loss setup for 1.5lbs a week. I figure that should get me there in the six months between now and then.

    30 to 40lbs in three months is pretty aggressive. I don't know if that is really a doable target given the short time frame.

    You have to do the bike ride down the Haleakalā mountain!! Soooo much fun!

    I was thankful that I maintained my weight. I did exercise while I was there.
