On the journey to loose 200pounds

Options
All my life have been overweight, but the older i got, the more it completely spiralled out of control. I'm here trying to get my life back on track. About 2 yrs ago lost about 50pounds, and then put it all back on, and then some :(

Started eating healthy about 3 weeks ago and so far have lost 10pounds...but as of monday joining a gym to combine health eating with exercise.

This is the start of my new journey, the journey of 1000miles which begins with one step. Hoping to find encouragement here :-) All the best to all :-)

    Congratulations on the loss so far. This is a great place for support in a long journey. I have made some great friends who support me on a daily basis and give me the motivation to push through my struggles. I have at least 120lbs to lose and can't do a whole lot of exercise right now because I'm 24 weeks pregnant. I'd be happy to support you on your journey. Sending a friend request. :-)

    10 pounds is 10 pounds! I lost 15 quickly and have now plateau'd... I am mixing things up, excersize and eating, to try to jump start it again. Keep positive
