    You've got this! The best thing about this app is the support you will gain and the tools you'll have at your fingertips to make better choices and figure out what works for you. Add friends too that share your goals (feel free to be friends with me!) and use them as a sounding board for nth your good and bad days!

    I'm almost 90 days in (almost 60 on this app) and in the same boat as many of you. I was complaining about my constant foot pain to my doctor who said "it's your weight... and you are going to end up disabled if you don't lose weight". He challenged me to lose 10% of my body weight over the next six months.

    I sought the help of a physician specializing in weight loss and I'm working with his team (including a nutritionist and psychologist) and I'm going to be excited to walk into my doctors office in 8 days having lost the first 10% in three months (not six) which will put me just over 25% of my goal of losing at least 100 pounds.

    Same situation but a disc injury has me finally realizing if I do not do it this time and dig myself out of the mess I made my body.. I'm gonna die literally. Very determined to make this time the last time

    What might be helpful is if you look at this as a lifestyle change instead of a diet. The problem with diets is that when they end, the weight creeps (or leaps!) back on.

    A lifestyle change is permanent. :)
