    Hi All,

    I want to loose 20 kgs.
    I am working in IT company so have to work almost 11 hours. Need a lot of motivation to loose weight. I don't have friends who can exercise with me.

    Thanks
    Leena

    Hi Cheryl, TaDa! You have arrived at the perfect location for losing weight and having support along the way. We are all here for the right reasons. I am proud of you for taking this step, it shows courage and determination. These are some things I thought I had lost before I started. Stay focused and get excited over ANY weight loss... some weeks it is pounds and other weeks it may be inches.... so just stay focused and know we are all here to support each other. Linda

    :smile: Cheryl, first of all I must congratulate you on starting this journey. I was where you are 3 years ago. I could barely walk. I couldn't even tie my own shoelaces. It was like a living death. I have since lost 71lbs and my life has changed beyond recognition. The best thing is that you see and feel the benefits all the way along. The first time you see your ankle bones appear, the steering wheel of the car getting further away. I've just found my collar bone :laugh:

    Feel free to add me. :flowerforyou:

    Hi Cheryl, you just took the hardest step that you will take....recognizing your problem and asking for help. That already shows strength and determination and girlfriend, I know you can do it. You have to first believe it and make sure that you claim it. Keep the naysayers and doubters out of your life and always know where your true support system is...right here on MFP!!!:smile:

    Welcome to MFP. I started my weight loss journey at 248lbs. There have been bumps in the road but I am at 172 right now. Just take it one day at a time and you will get there.

    You can do this, Cheryl! It looks like support will be no problem :)!! Log everything, everyday. (Whenever I'm off track, I'm not logging my intake!!) Gradually increase activity as you are able! Set small goals along the way and share them here! Spend time planning so you have healthy foods on hand when you need them. Keep reading and look for tips that appeal to you and are doable!

    Hi

    My reason for joining is different, I am here to support a friend in her weight loss journey. I am a group fitness instructor on my way to personal training. I would be more than happy to help you with the support you need be it nutrition, guidance, workout plans or just a support and listening ear. I love what I do and would be more than happy to help you achieve your fitness goal. As women we are strong, much stronger than we give ourselves credit for and with the right support and motivation given you can achieve this.

    Hi Cheryl. I would love to have you as a friend. Feel free to add me. I've got about 100lbs to lose and yes, it's a long road, but I'm determined this will be the last time I walk it.
    The support on this site is amazing.
