I am so glad that I found this website. I just turned 30 and have been battling with the weight for a while. When I graduated college I had about 10% body fat and weighed 210. Over the past 7 years I have ballooned out to 320. The weight gain was gradual. However, I am now sick and tired of being this size. When I went to go buy a suit I fit into a size 54 jacket. This is not acceptable. So I have been getting things ready for my start date on monday february 07th. I will be relocating to dallas texas and want to look good for when I get down there. My targeted move date is september 2. I will lose 60lbs by that time.

Glad you found the site too! This is a great place to learn the ropes of the world of fitness!

I think you hit the nail on the head by saying "I WILL lose 60lbs by that time." Saying that instead of "I WANT to lose 60lbs by that time" makes it more of a goal!

Welcome to the site, and be sure to ask any questions you have!
