Hey all im holly im 24 from the UK and im trying to loose weight AGAIN! but this time theres a difference, im determined that this will be the last time i ever need to loose a huge amount of weight. I currently weigh roughly 258lbs and im hoping to reduce that to 168lbs. Im 5,8 and broad shouldered so i actually look like i weigh less than i actually do.

My ultimate goal is to loose 90lbs ! which is 6.4 stone! Ahh! Huge goal, but i have a plan.

With every diet ive ever done ive set a goal of 100lbs to loose and never really set any small realistic goals, so im going to try and set regular small targets.

First Goal - To loose 14lbs by Christmas which is almost 10 weeks away. With this im hoping to loose a dress size or at least drop a few inches. Ive just bought a fabric measuring tape from ebay so i'll post up my measurements once i have that and will update you all with a weigh in on a weekly basis.

How will i do it? Im going to cut my calories - but not unrealistically
and im going to use fitness equipment to my advantage - wii fit plus, hand weights, ankle weights, punch bag, yoga ball etc. Hopefully by building my cardio up to 45 mins - 1 hour per day - maybe two sessions of 30 mins each.

I need encouragement and to hear some success stories so please send me some messages of support!!

Just to mention - when i make an entry on my measurements, i'll also include a list of the meals im eating on a daily basis and if you guys would be so kind, would you please tell me where to improve on them?

Thanks!
Much love x
 
Go Ahead Holly !!! I can only encourage you to do it, I am sure it s with small changes (healthier way of eating and exercise) that you will succeed.

I also need to loose 50 pounds, i reviewing my food, try to avoid fat food and limit carbohydrate. I also started going to the gym and I feel like a new person even though I am just starting I am setting first goal to loose 20 lbs within 2-3 month. I lost 10 so far ( it's been 6 weeks i am dieting)

Actually it's kinda hard to imagine myself 50 pounds lighter, I ve been carrying too much weight for so long. I hope to keep the motivation til i reach my final goal

Cheers !!!
 
hey saylee!
Thanks for the comment and words of encouragement im truly looking forward to seeing the end result and having a completely new life!!

Thats fantastic that you lost 10lbs well done! You should be so proud of yourself!

Loosing 50lbs will transform your body and your life so best of luck and i hope to talk to you more throughout both of our journeys !

Try keeping a diary in that sub section. It really will help if you can be truly honest about it.
 
I find that tracking my calorie intake is a great way to see what I am doing. Sounds like you are on your way!

Great Job and good luck!
 
Thanks for the advice guys!! its really appreciated ive set up a diary thingyjiggy now and im going to be completely honest in it.

Tomorrow is Friday and the weekend normally brings bad binging for me both food and alcohol! particularly when tomorrow night im having a night with the girls (depending on if this cold shifts!) so itll be vodka tonic for me! No cocktails, no beer, no wine, no baileys! AHH!! why do i really want a pina colada now!? Lol Thanks again!!
 
Small goals have been my savior. 5% of my body weight, 10%, lose 30 pounds, lose 50, so on and so forth. I have a difficult time looking at an overall goal; I'm glad that you've set one for yourself, and I wish you the best of luck in reaching it!!
