HI
Im new here and im very excited. I working my way to lose 10 [pounds by Valentines Day. Do you guys think is possible??? Any suggestions??

Thanks....

I started last night by doing some ZUmba which is great!!!


ps: btw how do you guys put a signature

10 pounds is a very attainable goal. That would put you at a little over a pound a week. What worked for me may not work for you but I calorie count. Bumping up the activity is a great start, too!

Signatures are added after 20 days & 20 posts.

Good luck!

That is a goal for me too.. it would be great to lose MORE than 10. But its a good start!

10lbs is a very reasonable goal! I suggest just eating better and exercise. Ive cut my calories and exercise 3 days a week. I've aleady lost my first 10! Good luck with everything!!!

Thanks for letting me know about the signuture process. I think i will do the calorie count too....

Hi hitkatis!
I think you've got a very realistic and achievable goal - many here have had success with calorie counting as well as low carb (I'm counting both) - the support you need is here - we'll all be here to cheer you on.

Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated and inspired - you'll be a wonderful addition to any of them. There's also info and first hand advice on different eating plans and exercise to help get through the ups and downs.

There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.

I've only been here a few months myself, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.

So welcome - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee
