    I'm in! 1 lb doesn't sound like much but it's amazing how difficult it can be to lose! I started today so if I do one a week that's 52 in a year. I'm hoping to do more but at this point I'll take that pound b/c I know it's not going to be easy.

    I am in! I have 35 lbs to lose, started going to Curves yesterday and am looking at a more" plant based" lifestyle.

    This is a really good idea!

    I weighed 188 this morning and want to weigh 153!

    I think that is actually an achievable goal. I am hoping for more, but would commit to that challenge. I am new to this idea of weight loss with others. If you are willing I'm in.

    What a fun idea! Just started using this fun app not too long ago and like the idea of a group dedicated to 1-a-week.

    Just wanted to share this with all of you!

    My ticker showed that I have lost 20 pounds...which I have! I decided to start totally over...I made a new ticker from our vacation, set my ticker on 0 with 35 lbs to lose and changed my profile picture! It feels wonderful...like being re-born!

    I would like to have a support group as well. I'm very short and live in a foreign country so it's pretty hard to get to the weight I'd like... and I look big because I'm so darn short! I need help keeping to the grind and finding ways to work out!

    Weakness: Exercise. I was never an exerciser, so my goal this year is a 5k, 10k, 1/2 Marathon. Bring it! :)

    So I lost right pounds but now went from 249 back to 252 over night. What does this mean? I am starting to feel like I should give up. What do you think or what should I do? I did go over yesterday but I didn't think.it would be that big of a difference.

    I just joined and am really looking forward to making this a permanent lifestyle change. 52 this month, I am at my heaviest all carried below my waist and am tired of looking like a pear, my son who is 15 is also joining us, and hopefully he will join in the blogging. I weighed after the holidays at 275 pounds and at 5'7 I would love to get to 150, but 180 is what I'm shooting for right now. I realize this will take time, but will need all the support I can get to remember this. I seem to get frustrated, and impatient, and definitely would categorize myself as a stress eater. As a single mother of one teenager and one who will soon return college student, working full-time and with the many other stresses we all encounter, losing weight has been always been a challenge. Thank you in advance for any support, and I promise to be there for you too. We are in this together, and we can do this. Take care, make good choices, and enjoy life again. :flowerforyou:
