    I started a little less than a week ago with a goal to lose 200 lbs. and just plain get healthy. I would also like to try to have a second child within the next couple years. I don't currently have a specific diet I am following. I'm Judy following the basics, eat less, exercise more. I am trying to go towards clean eating but not full out. I do not like all the rubbish preservatives and such they put in food here in the States so that is a key to my focus but not the primary. So far I've lost 5.6 pounds so not a bad start, just need to exercise more. Probably would come off even faster if I was.

    Trust me I understand we are in this together its all about your mindset and being at peace with yourself I know my problem was and its still a battle is when I get off my program its hard for me to bounce back that's why I tell myself self instead of using the word diet I use lifestyle so it is easier to stick with my mom taught me that she has become my bestfriend in this weight loss journey she is an inspiration not only to me but to my entire family he has lost 67 lbs

    I started last year and then quit...but now I am starting all over at square one and am determined to make it. I always go overboard, thinking I will exercise for an hour every day and eat only 1200 calories and I think it discourages me when I eventually fail. This time I am focusing on making some permanent lifestyle changes so even though it may take longer to lose the weight, hopefully it will stay off! Forever!! I have about 30 pounds to lose. Be my friend and we can encourage each other :smile:

    Hey there! I've just joined like about 30mins ago haha but I have been counting my calories in december I guess. I have yet to lose weight though cause on decemberbi didnt know that I was suppose to eat 1200 cal to lose em weight so I ate 1300-1500 calories. Now I need to refresh everything -.- haish im planning on losing 20pounds by April and its gonna be freaking tough considering that 1 200calories is too little for me. :(

    Hi, I'm from NC I want to lose approximately 60 more pounds. I have been going now for about 2-3 months and have lost about 40 pounds so far, so hopefully 60 more won't be so bad. Good luck with your goals.
