Hi all i am new

[Kellie mum of 4]

I am new to cc my name is Kellie and I am 34 years old, my start weight is 254lb which is so heavy, my first mini goal is to get under 250lb I know it is only 4lb but I am only going to set small targets as I find it easier that way. I would really like to lose about 34lb by Christmas which I think is possible I am starting by cutting my calories to about 1700 to start with as then that gives me room to go do when things slow down as I don't want to start really low and then have no way of dropping. I am on my fitness pal my name on there is mkellie12 if anybody want to add me
Thanks for reading and I look forward to getting to know you all and following your progress and supporting each other

Hey i think the mini goals are a great idea and will keep you motivated
I wish you the best of luck!

Have you thought about getting a weight loss tracker bar for your signature it helps keep track on the progress you make

Hi i come on here on my phone so i don't think i can get one of those ticker things as you hardly get to see anything on phone but hopefully as i have my fitness pal seeing that graph go down might inspire me

Mini goals are the way forward..... Im always doing it. I have no idea when ill get down to my 'ideal' weight so instead I set mini goals (even if its as simple as..... To feel good by a certain event or night out).

I think your being very sensible not cutting your colories too drastically. This way your more likely to succeed.

Good luck kelly, keep us all up to date on your progress.xxx

I agree, I'm sticking between 1260-1540 at the minute. I have a lot to lose too and I'm setting myself mini goals. I'll add you on mfp I'm MrsK1824 x

Thanks everyone its nice to know i am not alone on this long journey i am on i just hope that i have enough will power to stick with this diet as i normally give up after a week or two but i know i really need to do something about this weight as i hate looking a feeling this way that is why i am setting myself little goals as when i say i want to weigh 11 stone so i need to lose 7 stone 2lb then in my head i just think that it is impossible and start eating loads again and put even more weight on so i am trying a new tactic with myself so and i think that once i start hitting my mini targets i might slowly begin to believe that i can achieve my long term goal

I've got 6st 1lb to lose. We'll get there
I'd recommend also measuring yourself, some weeks you may think you havent lost anything but you might have lost inches x
