Default New Girl, little bit nervous
Hello,

facebook has just shown me how big I have gotten. So I googled weight loss support and came across her. I am really determined that this is the last time I start this journey without finishing it

I am , gulp, 240 pounds...heavier than my dad.

I am 25 and have a big family Christmas coming up, it is 20 weeks till Christmas, haven spoke to a doctor (yes I am doing this correctly now) and he said a good and healthy target was 55 pounds.

I will be 185 pounds for Christmas...

and I hope to have the support off this place along the way.

I know I can't have a tracker for a while so I will make sure I keep a tracker until then.

I can't wait to meet you all

K

Welcome
It seems like you're really serious about losing the weight.. so there's no doubt in my mind that you'll be able to accomplish that 55 by Christmas! Good luck!

Congrats on your decision. Just take it one day at a time! Get through that day, then get through the next. You CAN DO IT!

Thank you so much.

I am really hoping this year will be the year. No excuses and if I slip up I need to just pick my bum up and get back on track.

Welcome and this is a great site, just remember one day at a time and it may seem like Christmas if a long way off, but it isn't.
