This is what sucks for us. Food is our drug and we can't even avoid it, yet people think doing so is easy. Definitely not. And I understand the guilt about bad days. I feel like it's because we overeat so often and it feels ridiculous cheating when you're fat. But everyone deserves a day : )

You're an inspiration! I just completed my masters and that's without having a family, so I don't know how you're doing it. Honestly, meal prep is a good idea I think. It may seem overwhelming at first, but it will make life so much easier. Good luck and keep posting here.1 -
Btw, mfp changed my "bs" comment to *kitten.* I didn't realize that I couldn't curse on here. haha0

Hey everyone. I am 27 currently working to lose 20-30lbs. I am down 107lbs already. Seems that as I get closer to my goal, weight loss gets tougher. Always open to meeting others to provide support and encouragement. Feel free to add me! All the best to everyone on their journey!!0

I'm 26 and looking to lose 30! I don't know if 30 is too low for this group.. but I would really love to stay connected and motivated! 30 is a starter. I know I could lose more from there but I can't recall the last time I weighed in that bracket so I'd have to pay by ear by what's actually healthy for me when I get to that point. But it's getting there that is the thing! So feel free to add me

I am "granny" , 31

I'm so fed up with myself. I haven't fully logged in here (despite what mfp says lol) and I've only gained weight. I am so sick of being fat! Every day is the same thing: wake up, tell myself that I'm going to eat healthy and log my food. I never do. Why? Because this is *kitten*. I know that I love food and have an unhealthy relationship with it. I don't know how many times I need to relearn this lesson before I'm guilty of it again-that for me, that I need to fill this empty void with something meaningful, not with food. Also, I need to meal prep to avoid all of my potential pitfalls and I need to keep myself accountable by logging on mfp. I am sooo sick of being fat and unhappy. When is this going to end? Will I ever lose weight? Uggghhh.

What are some revelations you've had lately?
I know the struggle, dear! Food is so very addictive for me as well, sadly. I should try meal prepping. Never done it because I like to vary what I eat and feel like I then would have to eat the same food all week. But I am pretty sure, it would make my life a lot easier
My biggest struggle I had lately was being patient with myself. I realised that whenever I get really upset and disappointed after going over my calorie goal (resulting in getting way to hard on myself) usually is when I am being very impatient and wanting to reach my goal weight asap. So I have to keep reminding myself that this is not a sprint and it may take all the time in the world. And that it's ok to fall off the waggon as long as I get back at it. Weight loss is about so much more than losing fat. It is about getting confronted with who I am, overcome my fears and struggles and learn and grow.
Also in addition to your great happiness list: I love the impact of a gratitude journal or diary. Really helps getting into a positive and grateful mindset
I think talking about your ups and downs and experiences is the best way to reach for support and help, stay accountable and help others with the same struggle. So you get a big thumb up for that! Don't give up!

Feel free to add me! Looking to lose 40. 0

This is me. I at one point had about 80 to lose. I'm down to only having 40-50 to lose.
It's the weekends that kill me, going out with friends, or a dozen other unplanned things. Anybody else having that experience?0 -
Yes! Weekends are the worst! They're the only days that I'm actually home with my kids - and my 6 year old step daughter is THE pickiest eater. We wind up eating uber processed crap because it's easier than fighting with her at every meal. I've been struggling in general lately because of the stress from an upcoming move. Last week, weighed in under 200 2 days in a row then the last 3-4 days the scale has been going the wrong way.
I know I need to cut myself a little slack, pick myself up, brush myself off and get with the program. But as I'm sure you all know, that's a heck of a lot easier said than done.0 -
It may seem late but I will be joining this challenge as well.0

Hei-ho!
Joining the bunch! I am 28 and need to get healthier.
I am on my way to lose smth between 15-20 kg. I started out strong in the beginning of year but it all started to shake when my best friend came to visit me and of course, we ate out a lot, drunk wine and other drinks. I realized that after a week, I gained more or less 3kg, which was super sad for me. Since then I haven't got far, but now I feel motivated and good about it again.
Right now I weight ~91kg and my first BIG goal is to get to 84,9 (so I am under 85). I have proved myself that I can do it because before my best friend's visit I was 87 kg. When I started to lose weight, I was ~97 kg and thought that hell no, I will never get under 90. It's impossible. Well, it's not.
I also noticed that even though I live on healthy side, I need to count my calories quite strictly as I lose weight the best when I do that. So really crossing fingers for the success once again 2 -
Thought I'd bump this thread since it fits my demographic pretty much exactly. Hello! I'm 25 but I turn 26 this year.0

Hi I'll be 24 in August & want to lose 40-50ibs before new years! This doesn't count what I've already lost. I enjoy seeing others succeed & it motivates me to do more. Losing weight will help me achieve much more than a healthy body!1

Hi I am Nicole. I am 34 and need to lose 35lbs0

I feel like I'm starting to notice subtle changes in my body. My waist looks more tapered (really subtle tbh), and my jawline is (again subtle) a bit sharper now. I haven't weighed in yet, but regardless of what I weigh, this is encouraging to see.4

Hi!
I started out with 70 lbs to lose and now have only 31 more to go! I’m hoping to reach my goal weight by sister-in-law’s wedding in May which might be a little tight. I’d also be happy to reach it by my birthday in July.
I’m always happy to add new friends 2
