    Hi, I'm with you. I'm a former too thin person. I'd say I was anorexic....5'9"-115-120 lbs. for a good part of my adult life. 5-6 years ago my long-term job ended, and the sudden life change was too much for me. I became severely depressed, I saw my doc, and he put me on an antidepressant which has, thank God, given me my life back. Unfortunately, it, also, gave me 50 lbs. that really didn't work well with my new couch potato lifestyle. So, I am more active now...thanks to my husband who was able to retire 2 months ago. I'm changing my eating, and walking at least 30-40 min. a day. The weight is not budging, and I'm seriously wondering it it ever will. I'm about 175 lbs. and would like to make my goal weight between 150-155 lbs.

    Hey just a note about the walking, I walked not kidding 2 hours a day.. never lost substantial weight .. it doesn't knock off enough calories.. Got an elliptical lost more weight in 1 month than I would have all Summer.. I did lose weight once fast walking but that was when I did 3-4 hours a day.. just a fyi that it isn't you! I've lost now 15 pounds .. hope that helps.

    I'm looking for a little accountability as well. I'm 5'8, currently weighing in at 177... My normal weight is 150-155, but 6 months of traveling and constant eating out has greatly affected my lifestyle. My goal is to be below 160 by mid June for a wedding, and ultimately to be between 145-155. I normally have a workout partner, but I'm currently in an environment where I don't have anyone because of work schedules and other factors...so I'm attempting to find some support through this app to help keep me on track. If anyone has similar goals please feel free to add me, I'd love to help us all keep each other motivated and strong.

    I hear you. I've had a lot of hormonal problems this last year and am on birth control, so I'm fighting with my body's chemistry too. The weight is really hard to get off. Before the bc I had previously lost 60lbs by eating well and exercise. After I started taking it, I gained back 15lbs and everything I did before wasn't working. My hormones also mess with my moods so I can get depressed and really unmotivated. That's why I started on here. I need the support and to be with people who feel the same. We can do this! If we are doing the right stuff, I have to think eventually being healthier is going to pay off on the scale... or at least in the dress size! Keep going!

    Eating out and work scheduling are two of my problems as well. If I cook at home, I know what I'm eating (and I don't put a basket of bread or tortillas in front of myself as an appetizer!). And my days off are in the middle of the week while my friends are at work. I think this community will be good, though. It's motivating to see the updates... Soandso burned 200 calories at the gym. It sort of feels like having an accountability partner. Good luck on reaching your goals for that June wedding. You can definitely do it! And let me know if you have any good ideas about staying healthy while eating out.

    Hi everyone! My overall goal is to lose 26 more pounds, but I'm hoping to lose 18 more pounds just in time for my cruise in August! I've always had a hard time staying motivated, especially in the past year, but it's great to see everyone on here motivating each other! I just started a kickboxing class recently, and I love it! If anyone has the time and a little extra money, it's a great way to workout and strengthen your body while burning fat! Good luck to everyone! :)
