in Introduce Yourself
Greetings. My name is Eric and I am a complete newbie, but I really like the site and would love to get to know other folks on here and get new tips. I just started my diet two weeks ago and started logging here my progress a week ago. Any advice is welcome and I am happy to disclose any info. I am 6ft 3inches tall and started my diet at 260lbs. I am down to 252.5lbs in two weeks. I am exercising on a treadmill once a day for 30 minutes. I have eliminated all snacks and I have removed soda pop from my diet. I drink water in it's place. Any comments, suggestions or words of encouragement would be great.

    I am wondering if 45 lbs in 6 months is a realistic goal, can anyone share?

    two pounds a week is doable, but the closer you get to your target weight the slower it will come off.. so if you dont quite make it dont beat yourself up about it :smile:
