I have gained 25 pounds and seriously want to loose this weight. Anyone else want to do this with me. I need a buddy where we can push eachother to do this!

    That's a lot in a short period of time for the average person (unless you are obese). Wouldn't it be better to just focus on losing anything and being lighter by 1/1/18?

    same.

    a healthy rate of loss for somebody with 25 pounds to lose is .5 pounds per week, making 5-10 pounds a more realistic goal. but i am for not putting numbers to deadlines and instead maybe focusing on changes in a broader way. maybe focus on logging every day until new years, or working your way up on exercise or even a step goal. good luck either way!

    Sounds cliche but try not to focus on the number so much. Make your goal to stay under your MFP goal 6 days a week and workout at least 5. A few things that helped me are exercising first thing in the morning. Nothing intense. I do the elliptical but any workout video thing for 10 minutes will do. It is more about setting the tone for the day than the actual workout.

    I have a similar goal for new years (I am nearing obese so 20lbs by new years is actually a realistic goal for me, but maybe not for someone who has less weight to lose). Feel free to friend me, I'd be happy to add anyone
