Hi There,

So here I am starting my journey to lose 60 lbs. I will be starting the 10 minute trainer video tomorrow too. Not sure if I believe that 10 minutes is enough, but I will consider it a start and a way to get used to exercising, then will start the 30 day shred or something :)

So anyone here looking to lose about the same? I need some motivation as I tend to fall off the band wagon to easily.

Hope to meet some great people :)
cheers and good luck to all.

    My goal is a bit more weight than you but we can still help each other out if you like. I know I'll need all the encouragement and support I can get! I tend to be self destructive at times with my willpower. So add me if you like.

    I'm starting my journey today too! I'm looking to lose at least 60 pounds. But I'd prefer to lose around 70. Maybe we can help push each other! Good luck!

    Yes I am trying to lose the same amount of weight. It is a challenge, and has been for a long time but there is no time like the present. I tend to fall off the band wagon as well. But I am really excited to be getting healthy and in shape. So if you would like to add me you are more than welcome. I need the motivation and help just as well.

    My over all goal is 60 lbs. Just be patient with yourself. I think the hardest part for me is just giving myself time to lose the weight. I like to focus on 10lb increments. It's gets overwhelming when you look at the big number. I still get discouraged. It's like I forget that I've lost over 40 lbs so far. I get too focused that I still have 20 more to go.

    You'll be great! I just started mine to lose 40. If I can accomplish that - might go more toward 50 or 60.

    Good luck!!!

    I LOVE the 10 minute trainer videos! You don't just do 10 mins a day though. It's a series of 10 minute videos. You do the amount you can based on their recommendations. When I'm short on time I do one in the morning before work and one in the evening. I try to get all three recommended videos done each day though.

    I have about 60 more pounds to lose as well. So far I've lost 20 pounds and 18 inches overall. I'm on day 74 of my first Body By Vi 90 Day Challenge that has really helped me to lose this weight that I've been trying to lose for years.

    Weight loss journey begins with a single step. Congratulations on making the decision to start. You can do it!!!

    Check out my website www.melissi.myvi.net for more info on the Body By Vi Challenge :)

    I'll help in whatever way I can. Starting about 40+ days ago, I have lost 13 lbs so far. My original goal was to lose about 51 lbs, from 161 to 110. Along the way, I had a body composition analysis and was advised that with 95.5 lbs lean body mass, I really don't need to go that low, and could aim for somewhere around 122-123 lbs instead. Years ago, I felt good at 118, so I am going to do what my husband says and "play it by ear."

    I guess my point is that the important thing is to get started, not worry about the end goal, which may change as you continue on your journey. The journey itself is what matters.

    I am brand new on mfp and have a whole lot more than 60 lbs to lose, but I believe that all the support you can get is the only way to be successful in this journey. My reasoning is for a better life and so that I can be around for my husband and son. I have MANY health issues and disabling injuries that make is extremely hard and painful to do ANY exercise. However, I won't lose if I don't and I am tired of my quality of life!!:bigsmile:

    Hey there!

    I've got 64.2 lbs to lose. My first three months here I have not been very productive, so we could both encourage each other!

    Congrats on wanting to take this step! It's huge and often the hardest one. I lost 70lbs all together, so I know what you're going to go through.

    If you need any health, nutrition or fitness advice I can certainly help! I think the 10 minute trainer is a great way to get started, then after that you can move into something different depending on what your goals are. If you need any help determining what to do next or how to do your nutrition, shoot me a message and I'll go over your specifics with you.

    Good luck and BRING IT!
