Want to lose 40lbs!

We have similar goals! I am doing the Jamie Eason LiveFit program from bodybuilding.com. I'm in my first week, and it's working out so far. I'm also stopping alcohol altogether. Maybe a drink here and there, but not like I used to. Add me for support!

Same here! I don't have really anyone but my best friend and bf to motivate me and get in the health kick with me because everyone I know is either thin or they are always telling me "you don't even need to lose weight. You are so thin already. Shut uppp" It gets so frustrating because for me, I'm at the heaviest I've ever been without being pregnant and that was 5 years ago. Its been 5 years since I had my daughter and I finally woke up and realized I am DONE feeling and looking this way. I'm still young, I'm going to be 25 this August and like you said, I want to feel comfortable in my own skin. We can do this!

I am also looking to lose 40 pounds. I've been able to lose 35 over the last 18 months but put 7 back on over the holidays. I am new to myfitnesspal and just joined the other day because I now have a phone that can track my calories and fitness with my Garmin Vivofit. The key to losing the first 35 for me was getting in exercise in the morning and trying to eat healthy the majority of the time. For me that has been eating oatmeal for breakfast with fruit or yogurt, a light lunch, and a reasonable dinner. I am hoping this time things are easier since now I can track my calories easier. We can do this.
