Hello all my name is Kelly and I am 36 years old as of last week. My goals are to loose 95 lbs in less than a year. At least 50 by summer. I have been overweight almost all of my life and desperate to make a change. I have had multiple back surgeries and the extra weight doesnt help the pain or the problem. I am looking for some excercise tips for bad backs and ideas are greatly appreciated. I am sure I will get the support I need and I am looking forward to reaching my goals and doing it with some new and needed support :eek:. So here I go on my weight loss journey.
 
hi there and welcome :)
 
Hello,
I suggest that you go to your doctor and see what he/she says about exercise. He/she may recommend certain exercises that will help you and not hurt you! That is the most important part of exercises. No pain!!!
 
Hi! Glad to see you found us!

You might want to start a diary, we use it to keep track of our cals and excersize.

Good luck and let me know if I can help!

while i commend you for wanting to start this long road to a healthier new you, i do believe your setting your goal too high thus possibly setting yourself up for failure. 50 pounds by July MIGHT be possible IF you lose 1 1/2 pounds consistently every single week starting now. the reality of it is you will hit plateaus and some weeks will go by where you wont lose a single pound try as you might. so first i'd start by setting the goals a little smaller just so you dont end up getting frustrated and giving up. good luck and we're here for you! :)
 
Thanks for the comments and I will set smaller goals for myself I don't need anymore dissapointment in my life, Thanks :)
 
Welcome and good luck! Work hard and don't give up. Those smaller goals will help you succeed. If you have any questions just ask! You can do it!
