    Greetings and low-calorie sweeteners! I'm Maelyn, bit quirky at times, definitely nerdy. I love sci-fi. One of my goals is to get down small enough to wear the Star Trek: TOS science officer's outfit for Halloween, next year, is the target. My struggles are emotional eating, binge eating at times, and PCOS, and medications.

    TIP: DO NOT DRINK YOUR CALORIES!
    Save your calories for more fulfilling meals and snacks! I dropped 10 lbs by cutting out cream and sugars from my coffee, and now I ENJOY drinking my coffee black!

    Hello! My name is Leah and I'm a 33 year old mother of 3. I have been over weight since my late teens/early 20s. I normally hung around 155-165 lbs (5'4). I would "try" to lose weight for a few weeks and then give up. I never really took it seriously and it wasn't a big deal to me.
    Then in 2013 I was put on a medication that made me gain weight FAST. I was only on it for a few months before I stopped taking it but I ended up gaining about 30 lbs and started 2014 at 195 lbs! I was in denial about it for a long time and kept thinking it would slowly come off with no effort (surprise, it didn't) but finally at the beginning of 2015 I got serious and started trying to lose it. I lost about 10 lbs and then found out I was pregnant with our surprise 3rd baby! Lol. After I had the baby, I was still stuck in the 190s. I really just kept thinking it would come off on it's own. I guess because I thought it was a fluke since my normal weight had always stayed around 160. I finally started changing my eating habits little by little several months ago. Then last week I got back on here to help myself stay on track.
    I'm doing well. I'm still nursing my 17 month old so I get a little confused about how many calories I should be taking in to keep my supply but also lose weight.

    Starting weight - 195 lbs
    Current weight - 177.6 lbs
    Goal weight - 140 lbs

    Anyone can feel free to friend me!

    Love all the posts about how motivated you all are right now! Happy Easter to everyone that celebrates it! I was VERY bad today and ate soooo much unhealthy stuff. In order to help combat my bad behaviors today I think I'll take my dog for a long walk!
    Holidays are such a struggle! How do you stay on track?

    Hello all! I am Bill and I am 31 years young. I was able to maintain a good weight up until I hit 30 at which point my metabolism came to a screeching halt and I started gaining weight. I have been a runner in the past and am starting back up again this week. I plan to run 2-3 miles 3-4x/week, to start. I will be focusing more on my diet at the beginning. I am a big time snacker and love empty carbs! I look forward to checking in on this thread and trying to share/gain motivation!
