Starting today - I need to lose 50lbs - will you join me?

J512 · July 2016

I am from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada and looking to have a buddy to do this with as every time I try to do this alone it doesn't work.

My doctor is very supportive and wants me to be successful and has made sure this is all eating and exercise habit and not a health issue that is making me retain weight.

So this means it is all me!!!

Who is in???

I just sent you a friend request! Friends are extremely important for that motivation and support that's needed for successful weight loss! I'm very active on the site and I log in every day. Anyone can feel free to add me as a friend! Unfortunately, I have yo-yo dieted my whole life but I'm here now and things are different. My heads in a much better place! This a health journey for me. It's too bad it came down to that, so I would love to support someone to avoid going down the same path as me!!

I'll be your buddy! I think having motivation and support will make all the difference for me, too. Especially as I've tried before on my own and always lose motivation!

I think I am in the same position. I need to be serious but accountable. I am here and can check in with you. The calorie counting is seriously my hardest discipline. I often snack because I tend to be an emotional eater. 50 is my goal! It's a huge change but we can do it!

I am from Alberta and will join you too. I need to lose 50 pounds as well. I have trouble with portion sizes and I do like white bread and butter. I have cut all of the butter from my diet and in the past week have had only 2 half slices of multigrain bread. Right now my goal is to lose the first 10 pounds.

Yup. I'm in. How do you make friend requests in mfp?

J512 · July 2016

I added you all as friends now!

I was just at Bulk Barn getting my slippery elm and I felt so stressed. There's so much yummy stuff there so I just bought licorice spice tea and ran

Also need to lose 50 lbs, I usually lose weight then gain it back. I always think, what if I would have kept up with it? Im so disappointed with myself, Ive been struggling for years.

Count me in! I'm in the same boat. Lose, gain, lose.....

Vicwantsabs · July 2016

Add me ❤️

Same here! I keep trying and I think what I'm missing is a support group. Would love to support you and others as well.

mbryant322 · July 2016

I'm in, I need to get back on track and lose about 50 as well.

I'll add you.

J512 · July 2016

I am so pumped to have all of us working together!!! I feel so hopeful!

I am going to add you too! I could use a buddy, we can motivate each other! I am hopeful too, it will be easier with others doing the same plan. By the way what is slippery elm?
