New w/ 75+ lbs to lose

Raquelx90

I signed up back in February but never officially introduced myself.

I'm 22 and have been overweight my entire life. At the beginning of this year, I just decided I wanted better for myself. I do strength training and cardio five days a week, sometimes six. I do fairly well with eating right, even though sometimes I struggle not to go over my limits (usually sodium and/or protein). I've lost about 15 lbs. so far.

Anyway, I realize there are people out there, like myself, who are trying to lose a significant amount of weight: 50 lbs, 75 lbs, 100 lbs or more. It can be really discouraging not to have support. I just wanted to say hello to those people (especially the ones in their 20's like me) who are just starting to eat right and exercise. It's difficult now, but the results after sticking with it are SO worth it. Good luck. :-)

I'm 35 as well and have 40lbs to lose. I'm really scared because I have no support group! I know that sounds silly but it's true! I know how important it is to have support around you when you are trying to accomplish a goal like this! Good luck to you and I know you can do it, we all can!!! Keep in touch, I'll be your friend! I need as many friends and as much moral support as possible!!

I added you both. :-)

It's tough for people of all ages to lose weight and I'm happy to support anyone who needs it.
