So i'm a 21 year old nursing student from canada, and I've fallen off the bandwagon, but im ready to do this for real! My goal is to lose as much as i can before my trip to florida in the third week of february. I'm currently 190 pounds, and 5'6. im looking for people with similar measurements and goals that I have! I'd like to get down to 150, see how i look, and then maybe bring it to 135. I've got my ghym membership and i really like to be outside so im hoping to time-manage enough to get to do those things :)

    Welcome! You can do this!
    It's a long journey, but don't get discouraged. It's a marathon-not a sprint! Don't do too much too quickly and you WILL see success! :D
    Feel free to add me and message me with any questions!

    Feel free to add me! I've flung myself from the bandwagon time and time again, but I always crawl back on. :wink:

    We are here for support. You can do it. We all come off the wagon but it is the strong ones that get back on for the ride.

    40 lbs loss in that time frame is 2.5 lbs/week. A good goal, yet to do it that timeframe might be unhealthy. Eating well as we get into cold/flu season is important. You can do it - in a healthy way. Track your foods, your exercise, drink liquids, take supplements, SLEEP enough hours. Don't be discouraged - it didn't jump on overnight and won't get off overnight. Stay the course. Have a sheet of paper or a calendar showing the days from now till your trip. THAT'S your goal. Stay the course - you can do it.
    When you DON'T want to do something - no amount of encouragement can make you do it.
    When you WANT something - nothing can stand in your way!
