All I want to do is lose 20lbs. I'm currently 210 and losing 20 is hard I really would like to lose 30 but I'm going to start with 20 then knock out the 10. I think I can I do it I just have to stay motivated and eat better.

    Staying motivated has been the hardest thing for me. I want to lose about 40 pounds. I like junk food and am an emotional eater. I exercise on a regular but still have not been able to lose because I overeat. I have found that keeping the diary and using the scale has kept me accountable when I am honest. I have to keep telling myself that I am doing this for me and I am only in competition with myself!!! Good luck and feel free to add me for support as I am always looking for support too.

    Oh my goodness I absolutely love junk food too, and it is so hard! I actually started a fast on the 5th with no sweets and no red meats and it's been a journey it ends on the 25th but it has been so hard. I know you can do it stay motivated too!!! Also I added you

    I had a visit with my doctor and I was told to lose 20 pounds for health reasons. I am also a fast food junky. For this week I made Apple Pie Oats Muffins for breakfast no more McDonalds.

    That's good on the McDonalds I haven't had McDonald's in over a year! But keep going you can do it! I walked 3 miles the other day and that was a good pusher!

    Once you've gotten rid of that 20, the next 10 won't be so bad because you're healthy habits will have formed by then! Good luck with your lifestyle change ..

    I will always want my junk food. I give in if I can not distract myself but I will have a portion, less if I can. My food sealer has been a great help. I seal everything. Chips, cereal, junk food bags, you name it. If I have to unseal the bag it makes me think twice. I seal most things in the original packaging. When we have left overs I try to package them for meals on the run....in this house there is always someone running somewhere.
