in Getting Started
Currently I weigh 240lbs and I would like to lose around 100 lbs. New to this site so I don't know how to add friends and I really need some for support. Also any tips, tricks, and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    Same here, actually! Working to lose 100-140 lbs, I'll have to see when I get there to really decide. Feel free to send me a request, anyone! It's helpful to have people with similar journeys!

    I know how you feel, I need to loose about 160 pounds myself. I've been low carbing for about three months and I have lost 25 pounds. I didn't know this website existed until today, I will friend anyone who needs encouraging because I know that I do as well. I have been taking just one day at a time and sometimes just one meal at a time. I set small goals for my self----every 10 pounds is a goal. Good luck to all of us and keep good spirits!

    I have 130 pounds to lose so I definitely know what you are going through. It can be done though! Check out some of the success stories in the forum. It helps with motivation. I also set smaller goals for myself and focus on reaching those. It doesn't feel so overwhelming that way.

    Same boat..........trying to loose about 75 pds. This will actually be the 4th time in my life that I've lost approximately 75 pds. I was keeping it off the 3rd time around, until I got pregnant. Now I need to get that baby weight off. My baby is 5 yrs old. :tongue: Just SO READY to get back normal. I used to be concerned about being skinny. Now, I just wanna be HEALTHY for my kids.

    Hey girly! I'm not sure yet where you girls need help or support to get the ball rolling but feel free to ask me any questions and friend me!!! I started my weight loss at 240 pounds and now Im 140 only 5 years later. It was a lot of work, but I also slacked off a lot because I didn't know HOW to eat right and balance meals and it was tough to find workouts to continue my weight loss and get over plateaus. I believe I hit 4 plateaus over the 100 pound loss. If you are interested in learning more and keeping an open mind about weight loss and getting in better health, Id love to help you get started the same way I have, with home workout programs. I absolutely love them, and its what Ive used to drop the past 60 pounds. I never feel like its 'only me working out in front of a TV' because Im part of a HUGE group of men and women on facebook who also do the same programs as me. We share stories and log our workouts, take fun sweaty pics, and exchange recipes. Anyways, if this sounds like something you girls would be interested in, PLEASE message me. I know exactly how tough it is to lose weight alone. When I first started, I didn't have any support, even from family...especially after I lost weight and wanted to continue, most of my family said 'oh youre getting too skinny, don't lose any more weight'....and I was still 200 pounds! Seriously though, Im a here to help you guys with your struggle, even if you don't want to try the home workout thing yet. :) I hope to hear from U guys! Is anyone on facebook too?
