About me , I lost 40 lbs 2 years ago went through loss of a loved one and spiraled out of control with eating bad and no exercise. I gained every pound back . I re-started working out and eating better about 52 days ago I have already lost 18lbs! My cheat weekend spiraled into a few days of cheating but I have been logging every meal down to the jelly beans ! I am now sitting at 177 and looking to be around 145-150 . I am 5"4.5 and a twin working mommy . Also , I am a nurse which doesnt help with eating habits as we are always eating on the go . Looking for some friends to add for accountability :)

    I’m a nurse as well, and dealing with regain after losing 100+ and then going through a big breakup and starting/finishing my masters... it’s embarrassing!

    Can I join? I am not a nurse :neutral: but I know and have worked with plenty! I need so much motivation. I say I am going to track and then I don't. I have 20 pounds to lose. I just got married and I have NO desire to log or track anything. I can not walk, due to my back issue...but I do use machines at gym and try to stay active. I get real good at tracking during the week, weekend comes around and BAM beer, pizza, junk....so then I don't track. I NEED and must get back on track.

    Hi all! I’m in the same boat. Looking for accountability buddies and support. I’m a chronic starter but I always fall off the wagon a couple weeks or months in. I feel serious this time! I’m currently at 176 and looking to get down to 150. I’m also working with Judith Beck’s weight loss workbook - I highly recommend for all my other chronic starter friends out there! :)

    Hi all,
    I am in need of an accountability partner too. I have 45 to lose. I moved to a new place, am having lots of stressful things in my life, and need to make myself a priority, get healthy, and find something to be proud of myself for!

    Hello feel free to add me to your motivation and support team. I am a little over a month back into getting back on track. I let my weight balloon up to well over 230 pounds.......once I finally go the courage to step back on the scale again (after a few weeks of being good) the scale screamed a solid 226 at me.....so I am locked in to taking on the challenge of breaking through that 200 pound barrier the right way this time. Congrats on erasing 17 pounds!!! Look forward to joining your team!
