The camera really does add 10lbs and after my recent video with friends at school to boost morale, one would ask how many cameras were on me? 🤦♀️
I joined seven years ago and my weight was 21lbs LIGHTER yet I still thought I was fat. I’m now fed up of asking friends if I look fat in photos, so have decided to embark on a journey to find the me I know I can be.

You can do this! When I showed up here, I was 59 and obese. By 60, I no longer was obese; at 64, I'm still at that healthy weight. Age is no barrier, you can succeed! :flowerforyou:5

The important thing is, you are back and ready to start again.
Started my journey April 2019 ...lost 98 lbs, and now just floating around deciding where I am happiest with my weight. I'm 55.1 -
52 and obese. I'm tired of my weight dictating my life.0
