I want to lose 21lbs, if anyone is aiming for a similar goal I'd like to be a friend :smile: Just need some support from people who understand what it's like to be unhappy with their figure :embarassed:

    Hello, I'm new-ish and attempting to do battle with The Belly for what feels like the millionth time! Feel free to add me.:smile:

    Ideally I want to lose about 30lb, but I might end up judging it on clothes/not being horrified by photos.

    One thing that helps my body confidence on those less-than-svelte days is focussing on what my body can DO, rather than what it looks like. In my case, the thought is usually "OK, I'm a way off looking passable in a bikini....but I just got a personal best in my last 10km race". You could apply this to a new exercise class/rock climbing/just walking further than you usually do.

    Hope that helps. :happy:

    You can add me too, I lost 10 lbs and now just trying to get the body toned and maintain the weight I have now, I am comfortable wearing my clothes. We are all here for each other as others have said. My biggest thing is my "pouch" and toning the arms! Good luck to you, and hope you do well!

    Add me if you like! My goals are pretty similar, although I'm trying to get less hung up on the number on the scale and more into how my clothes fit and how in shape I actually am. :)

My weight loss goal is 14lbs, but I'm only 5 foot, so relativly that's loads, and feel I now need some extra support. Thanks.
