Hello All!
I am a 20 year old college student living in Columbus, Ohio. I've made the decision to lose the extra weight I've been carting around. I've always been slightly heavy, I've never been 'normal' or 'skinny'. I've always wanted to lose weight. I started the Curves work out program last week and have made the decision to go 5 times a week. I also am on a 1500 calories a day low carb diet. I have a good support system, my family and my boyfriend all are helping me. My boyfriend (<3) even said that even though he loved me the size I am now that he was sure he would like me when I lost all the weight. He actually was the reason that I haven't tried losing before because he liked me how I was. I do like my body for the most part (except the devil love handles and stomach fat), but I know I'm not at a healthy weight.
This is my first time even attempting to lose weight. Overall I'm scared that I won't be able to lose the weight. Not the will power, but that my body will rebel against me and refuse to get smaller. I feel like that sounds stupid but that's how I feel. So I am around 168 ish pounds and want to get down to around 140lbs by June of this year. Is that a realistic goal? How long has it taken you gals and guys to have lost that much.
That is a very realistic goal! I know it's scary to think "Oh crap... what if I can't do this???" But in reality, if you commit to it, and stick with it especially through the hard times, you WILL succeed at becoming healthier! Just check out the Goals section for examples of people who have triumphed.
I'm new here!
