Hello everyone!
I'm 31 f, married, mother of a cute 2.5yold, coming from Serbia. I decide to join your group to find some support in my quest to lose 50 lbs (now 172lbs, 5'5'', ultimate goal 122lbs :dizzy: ).
The best diet for me seems to be a low-carb, low-fat, high-protein one, lots of veggies, fruits and nuts, along with an exercise plan (5x pw 45' low cardio, 2x pw 45' strength). I easily stick to such plan, but tend to lose control when having problems in other segments of my life (usually when overloaded with work).
I don't plan to lose all 50 lbs in 1 year, but hope to be a good way on that track by summer 05.
I start my diet today. See you around!

Well it's certainly doable. You might surprise yourself and lose the entire 50 in a year. At 1 to 2 pounds safely in a week, and with 52 weeks in the year, it's very doable.
