I've managed to get my body into a terrible state, and I only have myself to blame, just been promoted at work, so feel its time to sort myself out but it's going to take a lot of hard work... i have a short term goal of going to see my best friend who emigrated to oz last year in mid october, and i dont want to be the fat woman on the plane.

I need to lose 50lbs and that's a really frightening figure... so would appreciate a buddy who has something similar to lose, or has already managed it.

    yes it's a freightening number but my 80 lbs to lose is worse and that's what I'm dealing with. We need to set smaller goals for ourselves to make that big goal more attainable.

    If we set our goal at 5lbs and we lose 1 or 1.5 that week that will look amazing to us because than we only have another 3.5 or 4 to go but if we set our goal at 50 than a 1 lb weight loss seems like nothing.

    We can do this ....small baby steps....slow and steady wins the race!!!

    Feel free to add me and we can support each other!

    Good luck
