ISO of accountabilabuddies! need to lose 80lbs and looking for others in the same boat.

missnolder890

I didn't have a baby or anything like that. I'm just fat. Just bad genes and a desk job in office where I sit on my *kitten* most of the day surrounded by old ladies who love to feed me baked goods and pastries constantly. The only time I was ever successful at losing weight was when I had someone by my side doing it with me every step of the way. Looking for active supportive people in the same boat. Add me.

I have a similar story, except for the baking coworkers. My long-term goal is to lose 88.4 lbs. I'll send you an add request.

missnolder890

that's actually new to me to. I'm user to working in an ER running my butt off all night long but i stated this desk job last year and I gained 15lbs the first 3 months and didn't even realize it was happening. I lost 10 of it, then put it back on. I got myself in the habit at munching at my desk all day long and I'm having trouble trying to break it.

When I started I was about where you are. Still have fifty or so pounds to go. I stopped paying attention to my diet for a few months and plateaued. Now I'm getting serious again. Added!

Hi ladies I just wanted to tell you what I did so you can try it too... I did have a baby but I think either way it's hard too lose. I was 118 when I got pregnant and the day o delivered I was 205. Right after I did lose 40 pounds quick from the pregnancy but I was stuck at around 160 to 170. I changed my diet and I worked out and I was barely shedding any weight. From Nov to Feb I only lost 10 pounds so I was at 159. It sucked. But what changed it all was the sugar. I started walking everyday 1-2 miles at night... and instead of worrying so much over calories and carbs... I started watching my sugar. I have a fitbit and this app. Whatever grams the sugar intake was allowed I stayed below it. And I made sure anything I ate had a lot of protein. Now with me doing this.... I've lost about 18 pounds from Feb to April. Right now I'm so busy and tired that I've slacked off... but right now in June I'm 144. So my suggestion is Start keeping track of your sugar. No more then like 30 grams a day Max. Good luck

acbennion

Sandy I think I need to focus on sugar more. That is a great idea! I have lost weight before by limiting sugar and carbs. I have had a hard time doing it this go around. I have 100 lbs to lose and I would love support! I want to be better about my eating. I exercise daily and use a fit bit to get 10,000 steps, but I struggle with food. I do great in the morning but as my day goes on I get stressed and my choices are not as good.

Sandycoffman1979

Acbennion... sorry it took so long to respond. I love having motivation friends..... we can chat anytime. Trust me I know what you mean. I have 5 kids, from 7 months to 15yrs and I used to have so much energy, I worked full time and still came home with plenty.. but back in 2008 I was diagnosed bipolar 1. And I had severe ups and Downs. Id go days without eating. And the medicine I had to take played a big role in my appetite. I'm 5'9 and I've never weighed more then 120. But this last pregnancy I gained 100 pounds so I was 207. I had to have an emergency c section and I've only delivered natural. Well that was Nov. And I started walking, doing crunches, squats, weights and changed my diet. I lost maybe a few pounds but I was so shattered. I kept trying to squeeze myself into pre baby clothes and they wouldn't even go above my thighs. I felt like I tried everything and I was so ready to give up. I was burnt out trying to do all this and still take care of my kids and house.... so my husband bought me a fitbit for my birthday which is in Feb. And it helped a ton. I no longer had to waist time writing it down and crunching numbers. Then I had something bad happen to my husband and he went to jail. I lost all motivation, I couldn't wake up to do my excersizes, I could barely take care of my kids cause I was so depressed. So as of Feb 28 I weighed 159. By March 21 I was 156. I couldn't believe with all that stress I didn't just drop the weight... I was furious and at that point I said that's it I've had enough with this crap. So I cut out all the excersize except I walk everyday 7000 to 10000 steps and I do 50 to 100 crunches on a yoga ball. I only eat 1200 calories a day. I hate water, but I'm now drinking 33oz water a day and I allow myself 1 coke. I cut out coffee and can drinks. But my main thing is sugar. Like I said before I eat lots of protein and low sugar. Fiber one has a lot of sweet tasting snacks with low sugar. And so from March 21 to now I weigh 144. Just weighed myself. Now it's not a ton but I'm losing more in inches. My waist was 43" in March and now it's a 33"..... I would post a pic if I new how... I would try it...... it really helped me

Hi everyone,
As you can see from my profile pic I was over 400 and got down to 199 then put back on about 80 and am now motivated to lose it again.
Feel free to add me.

ElleMcQueen

All, feel free to add me. I am only a few weeks into my journey, working really hard at a lifestyle change. I can help support, and I could always use more as well!

arniedog74

I don't have as much to lose. But, it is a constant struggle for me. I've lost and gained weight for my entire adult life. I just get comfortable in situations and gain it all back. I want to get back on track, it's just difficult to find the motivation.

amandak822

Please add me. The more accountability partners the better. I have had a desk job for the past 12 years. No kids. Just me and my husband. In the past year my weight has sky rocketed. I gained over 30 lbs which brings me to a place where I need to lose close to 80 lbs. I am 5'11'' and I weighed 257 today. My first goal is to lose 15 lbs. I think setting mini goals will help keep me motivated. So if anyone needs a friend please add me and we can get through this and learn together!

bluegreysky

I'd like to lose fifty at first, and then probably about about 25 more pounds. I guess that's about 80. I am 26, an overeater, who is trying to stop! And have been taking longer walks to try to get more stamina and be more active. I am not totally active yet, but I am trying to get back into it, so active or not go ahead and add me too!

mammabear1193

I could definitely use more motivation! Added you!

Sheri2016

Add me! I lost about 50lb and now I'm stuck and need to motivated to keep with it

ranabanana32

I'm going through this feed and adding you all! I'm in the same boat! I need some motivating friends to keep me going!

iamDavis139

Hi, everyone! My name is Bailey! I started my weight-loss journey years ago and I got down to about 150 but I got too comfortable and went through a really rough patch my senior year of high school. I'm starting my sophomore year in college and I've never weighed this much in my life (213lbs), I'm aiming to lose 70lbs by the end of this year. Add me! And if possible could you share any things that help keep you motivated/tips?

karenvirapen

Hi folks I'm Karen and I have 87 lbs to lose, so feel free to add me!

I have been a bit of a yo yo dieter over the past few years, I lost 5 stone (70 pounds) then put it all back on and more over a couple of years again...since then, in the last two years I've lost a bit, gained a bit, but never had the same consistent results.

I've found in the past that I do well when I limit sugar and cut my carbs down, so am trying that again (day 3). Low carb breakfast, lunch and then a regular dinner (but still within calorie limits). Will see how it works and keep you posted Need to get back on track and accountability here might just help!
