hi I am a 21 year old female looking to lose about 60 pounds by June 28.2007 that is my first goal which comes out to be about 3 pounds a week and 10 pounds every month so Who's with me anyone else need to lose at leat 50 pounds come with me because come june I will be 60 pounds lighter on the beach in Cancun

Welcome! and Good Luck!

I must say though. It's not healthy to lose more than 1-2 lbs a week. If you lose weight fast, you can gain it back easier.

In my senior year in high school I weighed almost 260 lbs. I made a few changes here and there as a new years resolution, lost the weight slowly, and still today I have kept it off! Now, if I could just get back on track and lose the rest! LOL!

Welcome to the board Babyphat! I for one would LOVE to go to Cancun this summer!! I am going somewhere on some beach that's for sure! I'm hoping to hit goal by spring! You'll do yours by June..

Welcome! I agree- losing more than 1-2 pounds per week is not healthy. Just do your best and you will look great by June, even if you don't quite make it to goal.

The support here is WONDERFUL. And I am with you on the trip to the beach. I am going to the Bahamas in November ao I am on this journey with you. You can do it !!!

I am with you! We gotta look good on the beach! I am planning two trips, neither which have been booked yet. Karma27, I have been thinking of going to the Bahamas with some friends, I have heard amazing things about it. Have you seen their new site, it is hilarious - http://www.bahamavention.com/bahamavention/

Welcome to the boards! (Even though technically this is my first post too!) I've always been one to read all the posts and never actually make any myself.

I'm also 21, at 220 lbs. Cancun sounds amazing to me right now! I started last Friday counting calories, eating right, and exercising. I've shed 7 lbs!

I've tried to lose weight before, but I had never been completely 100% serious about it. This time, I've let my family and friends know...and they have been SUCH a great support for me! I know I can do it, and I know you can too!

I'd love to get down to about 150, but I'm not in a rush for anything in the near future. My longterm goal - to not have to wear a fat person gown at my college graduation next May!

I think I'll be posting frequently. You all have helped me so much, it would be nice to think I am helping someone else! Check out my profile for my AIM screenname if you ever need someone to talk to!

Yay! 3 cheers for looking hot this summer!

Oh, I'm jealous... Mexico! Good luck on your weight loss journey!

Welcome and good luck. I just registered today. Thought I'd give this board a try.

I however want to be twenty to twenty five pounds lighter so that when I go visit my best friends sister in NY I might get lucky to go wiht her to a photo shoot (shes a model) and who knows...i might can have my own contract.
