Need to be in shape for adventure vacation

[taxle]

Hi everyone. I am new and this is my first attempt at reaching out to a forum to garner support in my attempt to lose weight. I am taking an adventure vacation in Africa at the end of June and I need to be in shape to enjoy every moment of it and not struggle behind my guides and my boyfriend. I have given myself a goal of 30 pounds in six months and for the first time in my life I am absolutely dedicated to achieving this. So if anyone has any hints, or just has any words of encouragment I would love to hear from you. Thanks!

hey neighbor

hi there,
first of all, welcome!
i'm just down in seattle...i know our weather is pretty similar, and if you're like me, winter is a terrible time to try to lose weight. it's so easy to bundle up in sweatshirts, and under raincoats, it's too easy to cover up the extra pounds! i don't know about you, but this is the first time i'm keeping myself on a serious diet plan and sticking to it. i only want to lose 25 lbs, but it's tough, especially this time of year with all the sweets and goodies going around! good luck, you're trip sounds like a great motivator for your weight loss. keep me posted on how you're doing!
