Tough Love Needed

crazykatlady820

Hi! I'm looking for some friends who can dish out honesty and tough love. I've never been the kind of person who gets over hurdles with unicorns and glitter and kindness. If you call it like you see it and don't let people make excuses, then you're the friend for me! I am 33, a SAHM, and I am going to lose 167 pounds to get down to my goal weight of 140. This isn't my first time at the rodeo, but it is my last. Now...who can hold me accountable to that?

Honestly, the only person who can hold you accountable is you.

Agreed. But support certainly doesn't hurt.

You can definitely find tough love here. Do you have a specific question or anything we can help you with?

@arditarose I'm just looking for friends to add for motivation.

@ninerbuff I've set my goals to lose 1 pound a week. I'm weighing my food and trying to stay within my daily calories. And I'm getting active, which is surprisingly difficult in this body. I've always been big, but this is my max and I've found it is hard to do the things I used to. For now, I'm mostly walking, but it's a start!

Also, at the suggestion of someone in one of the forums, I tried a Sweatin' to the Oldies video yesterday and Richard Simmons kicked my butt. A sentence I never thought I would have to say.

Absolutely. I didn't mean who is going to make me do this. I am making me do this. I am just looking for a support system on here. Friends to add who are interactive and will just give me honesty when I need it.
