Hi everyone. my name is kacy and ive been using the MFP app for about 3 weeks now on my iphone but had no idea of the whole support network available on the website. I am desperately wanting to loose weight before christmas, and Im going okay so far with a 1kg loss in two weeks but I can certainly see myself losing motivation without support from others out there. all Im asking is for a few words, tips or advice to keep me motivated as I really want to achieve this. heres my stats

CW-178pounds or 80kg
GW- 65kg
started - two weeks ago
goal time - 3 months

so basically i am aiming for anoything between 1-2 pounds per week. if anyone has anything to share with me id really appreciate it!

will post photos for those interested. Although I know I am overweight, im scared to take photos of myself because I have this mental image of myself in my mind that isnt as bad as i really look.... and reality scares me. but I am determined to look and feel good by this summer.

    Welcome and good luck. You came to the right place.:flowerforyou:
  • thank you :) do you think that the goals im setting are reasonable? Is it easier to lose weight the heavier you are? if i can loose even 10 kg in 3 months I will be ecstatic. anything more would be incredible.
  • i am in the same boat as you! im 178, and 5'2 so i look like a meatball lol.
    i get to where ill work out for a few days and watch what m eating and them
    ill start slipping. ! maybe we can help each other in some sort of way?
