Challenge accepted!

Hi I'm Liz!

I'm from Ontario Canada and would like to lose at least 60 pounds. The pounds have snuck up on me over the years and I would like to get healthy. Starting to feel the effecting of excess weight-sore knees, tired all the time, etc....

I am currently at my heaviest-which is including my weight when I delivered my babies.

I need to do this for my kids but it will be hard!

Today is my second day on here and I feel good!

I would love to chat with others to stay motivated.

Hi Everyone! This is the first group I have ever joined, and I hope this will be a positive experience for me, as I don't have much support in my real life (boyfriend eats like a 10 year old boy, Mom refuses to get rid of ****ty food in the house, etc.).

So a little background: My name is Jordana, I'm 24, from Ontario Canada, and have 50-60 lbs to lose. I'm 5'9", and 200lbs.

I had previously lost 50 lbs a couple years ago, but since then I've gained it all back due to emotional eating and crappy stress, or well rather having no way to properly cope with those things.

I'm really hoping to lose the bulk of it by my 25th birthday (July 14), and I'm hoping to pick up other ways to relieve stress other than eating.

My plan is calorie counting, and slowly incorporating exercise so I don't do too much, too soon.

Looking forward to hearing everyone else's story!

Hi, I'm Suzanne. I'm a 39 year old mother of two in Seattle, WA. Losing 50 pounds would put me right where I want to be (for now). I'm hoping this is my year to make it happen!

Hi, I'm Jennifer.
I have 70 lbs to lose. I'm at my highest weight ever (except while pregnant with my 1st). I weighed less while pregnant with my 2nd, and after he was born I put more on! Ugh.

My goal for this year is 35, to get under 200, and to feel proud for what I've accomplished this year, instead of disappointed that another year has gone by without me doing anything.

Hi everyone! I'm Dallas (25/Female/Oregon)

So here's the basics:

I lost 80 lbs back in 2006 and kept it off until last year. Then... prepare to hear something you've NEVER heard before....I gained most of it back :,,,(

So now I'm just looking to get back on track, get back into my nice clothes that mock me from their storage boxes, and get back to being a maintainer.

Is anyone here similar stats to me and looking for a partner in crime? (by crime, of course I mean KILLING millions of calories off of my body

I'm 25, married, a veteran, currently a college student studying business and public relations.
I'm 5 foot 6, currently weigh 235, and am looking to get down to 160/150.

If you are so inclined and/or have a similar journey to make, friend me/link me to your blog/read mine

Hi, my name is Penny and I have been maintaining this nasty weight for a year now and want it off. My goal is to lose 80 pounds, but I am taking it in 10 pound chunks. My problem is that I keep losing and gaining the same 5 pounds, but have finally started going back to the gym again two weeks ago, so am hoping that the weight will finally start coming off. Sad thing about this journey, is that it is the same journey I took 5 years ago and almost made it to my goal weight when I suffered two back-to-back injuries and gained all the weight and then some back. I am an emotional eater, and have started crafting to combat that for the most part. At least, it helps i the evenings when I use to eat like crazy. Now I just have to stay on track when I stop to eat my lunch mid-day. My other issue is that I have an unhealthy relationship with food. For so long, even when I was skinny, I was told that I was fat and started hiding what I was eating, then not eating at all. So, I am not quite a bing eater, but eating enough calories everyday tends to be a problem for me. I am tired of being fat and what to be the active Mommy that I once was before the surgeries.
