    Hey Guys welcome. Over the last two months I've gotten more serious with this program and am very thankful for the makers. Here are a couple tips that help me. After initial weight loss I've started to lose some focus until i enlisted some friends, wife family to join me. Way Easier with others! 2) Log your bad days!! Logging has totally made the difference for me in terms of motivation. 3) have a plan for your hungry/tired days. Finally Grace on your bad days and stick with it. Feel free to add me!

    Hey there! We have similar goals! Feel free to add me for emotional support and sometimes helpful info - I like to stay informed on anything fitness and nutrition related. Also I have a sweet spreadsheet that helps track weight loss progress, and I can make a similar one for you if you like. :)

    You can find one that I made for another friend on google docs here:

    Good luck!!!

    Hi there!

    My husband and I joined on Monday. Today was our weigh-in since the last time time we weighed was last Saturday. I lost 11.9 lbs this week and my husband lost 9.2 lbs. We both have a goal of 20 lbs short term and then I need an additional 125 after that. Haha. Baby steps, right? I'm setting smaller goals so I feel more accomplished. After I reach the first 20, I'll set a new 20 and so on and so on! :-) Good luck out there, everyone!!

    My weight is something i've always struggled with as well. That, and the fact that I tens to be an emo eater, and seem to have this delusion that food (usually food that my arteries cry at) is going to be some great comfort. Usually I just end up feeling crappy after I eat it, and then there's the guilt. Blah!

    Anyhow, feel free to add me, we could all use a little more support :)

    You can add me... I joined back in January so I am not "very" new at this, but I have about the same amount I still want to lose. I want to lose at least another 30 lbs or so (28 more pounds until my goal weight)
