    Debra,
    Tough goal, but you can do it. Put your mind to it and go for it. Your at the right place so start today and dont give up. Start walking on a daily basis. Stay away from the carbs and fats and it will happen.

    Wow good luck. One day at a time...I lost about 85 lbs after each of my 4 children. It took about 18 months each time. I was dedicated to work outs at the gym and eating lots of salads, fruits and lean meats without skin baked and broiled. Sometimes I felt like I missed out but it all worked out.

    Hi Debra, and welcome to THE best site on the web! :flowerforyou:
    Between the easy to use food counter (which by the way is SUCH an eye opener!) and all the wonderfully supportive members, you WILL be able to lose the weight that you want to, AND, it'll "almost" be easy doing it! THOUGH, it might just take longer than the goal you're aiming for!
    It took me 8 months to lose just over 40. But, everyone is different, so you never know, go for it and see what happens!
    I recommend logging ALL your foods BEFORE you have them, rather than later, as it tends to lead to better food choices. (not to mention you'll know if you've got enough numbers left to have a night time snack, like I ALWAYS try to do!) Some people also like to weigh and measure some things, such as meats, rather than just estimating and possibly being WAY off!
    Also, drink LOTS of water, it REALLY DOES help! :drinker:
