Default New and looking for a determined buddy to help eachother along!

Hey everyone, I'm hoping to find more support(and possibly a buddy) here than I get from my family and friends! I'm hoping to lose 35lbs in 4 months starting tomorrow. Is that too much too soon? What are your thoughts? Thanks

That sounds like a reasonable goal, but make sure that it is achivable for your lifestyle. My goal is 35 pounds in three and a half months and I've got a little less then one month left and I've lost 26 of those pounds. I have a ways to go still so I'd be glad to be your buddy, if you'd like.

Welcome to 3FC by the way!!!

:]

What is your current weight? I'm just asking because losing 35 pounds in 4 months all depends on your height, current weight, metabolism and among other things!

Welcome! I just joined here myself not too long ago!

shrinkingleah- Wow! That is very inspirational Congrats on the 26lbs! What is it that has been working so well for you?

Well, I have a 3month old daughter and a 4yo son and I'm lucky enough to stay at home with them. I'm 5'7" and currently weigh 185lbs. My metabolism has actually slowed down A LOT since I had my first. I used to run track in college and now I don't even feel like getting out of the house and I'm only 23! It's crazy how having kids totally turns you upside down :S
