Well, I just joined this site and I've been reading a lot of diary's and checking out some of the before and after pictures, and you guys are doing amazing with your weight loss achievements! I just want to say congratulations, I have so much respect for everyone, it's a tough battle.

Okay, I guess I should introduce myself, my name is Jacinta. I'm 21 years old, I'm 5'6" and my current weight is 280 pounds and my goal weight is 150. Yeah I know 130 pounds to lose is kinda of crazy, but I do have hope that I can do it.

I've always been on the heavy side, and always battled trying to lose the weight. In grade 7 I was 170 pounds. All through school, I was always commented about for my weight.

Now I have made up my mind. It's time I get rid of this weight, and I'm going to do it for real. No more telling myself I'm going to do it, and the same day end up at McDonalds :eek:

I'm tired of that life and I'm ready for a change.

I'm going to start a low-calorie diet with biking and walking, drink lots of water and no more eating after 8:00pm.

Tomarrow I will start to track my food.

:p Good-Nite everyone!
 
Welcome Beauty!! I know you'll find this website very helpful and inspiring, I know I have. I joined it a month ago and it's been so great!! I think your on the right path, because the first thing you have to do before you start your weight loss goals is knowing how bad you want it. If you want something bad enough you find a way to get there. I think you will do great, stay positive and visit this site often. We are all here to lend an ear or a helping email. I wish you luck, but I know your not going to need it. I'll be watching your future success, so GO FOR IT!!:p

Hiya Beauty!

Just wanted to say hello and good luck. It is so cool to be surrounded by people with the same aspirations as you, and I really feel im gonna find the support from this place invaluable (I only joined yesterday)

I dont think the figure of weight we want to lose is something we should focus on too much, sure, we need to know what it is so we have that end goal in sight, but I find atleast if i think too much about myself minus the 60 lb i want to lose, i kind of get disheartened that its impossible, and feeling down about that leads me to chocolate, which makes it all worse!

The way im trying to do it is not even focus on the weight too much at all, instead im setting targets like, in three weeks i want to be able to do my full half hour workout dvd without having to take timeout, and in two months the hour workout. Also, I want to go five full days without bad snacking (back on day one again today cos i had a bag of choccie yest lol, not beating myself up of it though, just made me more determined to not do that today!) I know, that by working toward these targets, the weight will come off, cos im exercising more and cutting out the bad food, but im doing it without really thinking about all the weight i want to lose. Realise this way of doing things wont work for everyone, but i think its teh way for me :)

Well, good luck, take it nice and slow, remember when you get there its forever, so it taking a couple of years + to achieve is only a small portion of the rest of your life :)
