    Sounds exactly like me. Struggled with overeating all my life. Looking to lose at lwast 50 pounds and just generally make better Choices ....need to cut all the sugar. Desperate for mutual accountability. Will try to add everyone if y"all don't mind. Just had third child and my will power is really lacking.

    Hi Heather,
    You can chalk me up as well, if you so desire. I need to lose the same 50! I'm just starting out, but loving the burn. Maybe we can help each other. I'm willing to give it a shot. If you're in, please add me! :O)

    Hi to all.. I just signed up. I am looking to loose about 60 pounds. I could use some friends and motivation. I just retired from the army last year due to injuries that I had been struggling with for several years. Long story short my injuries have put me off of my feet. I am preparing for my second surgery next month and have another after that. I have slowly gained 60 pounds over the course of three or so years. There is not a lot of exercises that I can do right now so I am turning to looking at my diet and hoping this site will help me.

    Hey Heather! I am in the exact same boat! I am looking to lose about 120 lbs though. Only down 8.8! It's hard and i find the biggest issue for me is "cheat" days. I try to either live without them or subsititute for healther yummy choices.
    I always tell people that this time I am going to do it and I have a bit but would gain it and more back. I guess I am just trying to get in to the mind set that I realize a lot of unhealthy foods give me stomach problems so I am eliminating them. I also have a very important even to go to in 3 months so.... that helps for motivation!
    Maybe set a goal for yourself, like a nice outfit or something!
    Keep up the great work :)

    Hello! I'm Heather :)
    I've struggled with my weight my whole life. It's my thing. I get on the band wagon for a few weeks and when I see no progress I give up. I love eating. For the past twenty-some years it's been my security. When I think about what I'd like to do after work or on the weekend it's to make my favorite food and pick out a show or movie and make a day of it. However, it's not my health 's favorite thing to do. I got the fat girl talk from my Dr this week and the time has come to where I need to make some serious changes. So, I'm getting back on my bandwagon and going to give it all I've got.

    Go you! Join my weekly weigh in group if you wish we will support you to get to a healthier you.

    HI..and you GO, gorgeous!

    I am trying to lose 50 pounds in a year. That may not seem impressive, but I am after a gradual, sustainable loss that I can then adapt as a lifestyle change. No offense to those who don't face the large loss challenge...but they really don't get it. Add me if you like...I am a whiz bang cook, and am working on recipes to lower cals and fats, and would love to share!

    Same here...50 is the goal. Gradual is the way to go. Portion control and eating delish foods is my plan...also daily exercise for me...hope you're getting some of that too!

    Hi Heather! I also started out wanting to lose 50 lbs back at the end of January of this year. I've lost 25 lbs so far. I hit a plateau a couple months ago and haven't budged in a while. I need to lose that last 25 lbs. Feel free to add me as a friend if you would like. I don't update my diary much lately since I do Weight Watchers too. But I try to get on here often.

    Hi, My name is Tara. I have used this before with success. I just have gotten complacent. I need to lose 30 pounds to feel like myself again. I haven't seen her in a long time. I saw some old pictures of myself and realized I was wallowing in denial. I don't want to have to go back to teaching in the Fall this size. I want to be able to get back into all those clothes I have hanging in the closet. I hate going shopping these days as reality *kitten* slaps me in the face. I could use a buddy. I'd like to join the gang here.
