edited November 14 in Introduce Yourself
Went to the doctor and heard the news Ive been dreading all year. Yes I am overweight and need to lose weight. 50lbs to be exact.
Is there anyone else with a huge goal for the new year? I'd love to add people with similar goals.

    I've been overweight for several years. I lose and gain pretty easy so it shouldn't be too tough for me. It's the sticking to it part that gets me. I quit halfway through every time but hoping not this time.

    I make short goals but my overall goal is to lose 50-65 lbs. I definitely don't look like I have that much since I'm tall but that's what I used to be and want to get to it again. You can add me :). But the only person stopping yourself from succeeding is yourself. Got to be strong willed.

    Yeah for me I always thought I looked normal and then all the Christmas photos happened. Ugh, just comparing them to last year photos was enough of an eye opener. I'm the same way I start and stop Idk why because the last time I lost weight I was down to 120lbs and I felt really good!

    I need to lose around 150lbs to 180lbs :) Feel free to add me!
    I lost 140 once and almost got to my goal weight but some things happened in my life so i really curbed my fitness and eating healthy. But I did it once so i can certainly do it again! :)

    Exactly! Good luck on your journey! I'll send you a request.

    Congratulations on the weight you've lost so far! You just gave me some hope :D

    Thank you very much! Hardest part for me was getting started. Then it just all becomes apart of everyday life. But i am very thankful i finally decided to give it a shot. I haven't been this weight since i was about 17 yrs old, im 25 now. And feel absolutely amazing compared to when i was at my heaviest

    That's awesome! I know the feeling but I just stopped sticking with it. My lowest was 100lbs, but I'm also very short now I'm 160!! I don't even know how it happened but I hope to reverse the damage and get my youth back.

    I've lost 35, stalled out at Christmas, and am getting back into it. I want to lose another 75. It's so simple that anyone can do it (barring cravings, hormones, temptations, lack of will, and lack of motivation...been there!). Best of luck!

    Looks like there are a lot of people 'in this boat' with you. It takes determination, in my opinion. It all starts with changing your mindset. KNOWING you can do it and WANTING to do it. You will succeed. I am right here with the rest of you. Just trying to work on putting my mind to it. That, to me, is the toughest. If you put your mind to it, you will exercise like you are supposed to (no matter what exercise you choose) and you will eat healthy and stay away from the 'bad' foods that you know are not good for you. It all starts within you!

    I'm in the same boat! I need to lose at least 60lbs. I've done it before, but went back to school and blew it. Please feel free to add me. I'm starting on Monday and I need all the motivation I can get.
