I'm a metric baby, 165 cm and have 35 kg to go!

Hi,

I'm Rumi from a tiny town in Indonesia. I'm 5'4 and 207 lbs. I need to lose about 75-80 lbs before my 32nd birthday in august 2013.
I've been overweight all my life, and get my highest weight in January 2012 at 105 kg (231 lbs). I almost throw my scale at that day.
Then I start diet in mid feb, and so far I have lost 11 kg (20s lbs).

Now, I want to do it more seriously with the help from MFP.

From tomorrow am gonna track my calories intake and start walking at least 30 min a day. I also want to start lifting but havent found nice and comfortable gym around my place.

Anyone who have similar start/goals pls kindly add me as your MFP. I'd love to have this journey with you.

    You know, it depends on your metabolism and body composition. For me it took 5 weeks to drop 13lbs or 5.7kg. Welcome abroad and I think it's great you've decided to do it now! :)

    How to boost my metabolism? am afraid I'll get discouraged if takes to much time to lose all of my excess weight.
  • you did not gain the weight in one-day, so you cant losse it in a day, but with consistency regarding your diet and exercise you will get where you are going to. It took me longer to loose 5kg
  • me too. I need 7 weeks to lose 5 kg.
    of course, that's why am here, on mfp, to track healthy life style.
