Hey all, I am on my journey of losing 65lbs and I thought it would be nice to befriend some folks that were trying to lose a similar amount of weight, it's nice to have similar struggles and stories. If you are interested, please request me to be your friend. I would LOVE to support you along your journey and the same you for me :D Thanks!

  • :noway: ME 2 ME 2 .. I looking to get about 80 lbs off and would love the support and to give support!
  • Hey I'm looking to lose quite a bit I would love to help support you if you would like to do the same!! Bigger support net helps me push myself. Let me know what you think!
  • This sounds like a great idea! I need to lose about 75-80 more lbs to be where I'd like to be. Anyone on this post feel free to add me!
    Also supporting each other is definitely easier if we make some type of guide on how often to check in with one another. Maybe we should agree to sign on this post at least once a week to see how everyone is doing? Or just post on here about problems we are having that week to get some additional support? Just some ideas I know that having some type of challenge or some type of guide on how often to check in with everyone and our progress has helped me before.
  • I got about 55 lbs to lose still. I would love to have more people on my friends list to keep me motivated.
  • I have about fifty more to go. Fifty three to be exact :bigsmile:
  • I'll add you I still have 70 more to go.

    I started out at 294 so I had a total of 154 lbs to lose. I've lost 44 so far so have another 110 to go. I'm rocking with the Food Lover Fat Loss Program. I eat all day, exercise everyday and am doing things I've never done before. This is not a diet to me, it's a lifestyle change. I can actually cross my legs again! WHOOP WHOOP!!

  • Hi

    My name is Debbie and i would like to lose 60lbs. I just started doing this program about 2 weeks ago. At work we started exercising 3 days a week for 1/2 hr but had to stop because it is being painted. It is a dance studio. This studio we cannot get back into until early March due to clean up and the cast for Franklin the Turtle tour will be rehearsing before they go on tour. I work in the entertainment business but in the accounting Dept.. So get to go some good concerts through work. I am 48 years old. I have one son who is 25yrs old. My husband was married before so he has two children who i consider mine as well. They are 32 and 30 yrs old a boy and a girl. I have two grandchildren 2 & 4 years old. I would be happy to help you with your weight loss journey. It would be nice to share our stories and also use each other as a sounding board.

    Hope to hear from you.
  • I would be glad to join you. I have about 60 lbs to lose and definitely could use the support!
  • I have 105 to lose and really need someone to keep me honest. Would love to take this journey with you.
  • Hi everyone!

    I'm on the same quest... I've already lost 93 pounds in 10 months and I'm looking to lose 55 more. I can tell you that it is possible to lose weight, you just have to keep your motivation and determination and, most important, smiling!

    JuDurand, wow, amazing job, keep it up!

    Right now my small goal is to lose 40 lbs by my 19th birthday, may 28th. In the long run, I need to lose 76 more lbs so I guess i qualify. I hope people stick to this board because it's nice to have people who you can relate to. It's great to get healthy, and be in shape for everyone, but it's easier to relate with people who need to lose such a significant amount of weight like i do. Good luck everyone!
  • congrats...that is a great achievement. I am down 30 but have about 95 to go.
  • I have lost 13 & have 81 to go. Please feel free to add me, I am all about supporting one another.
    I might add I like JerzeeBabies idea, I know many have started their own group & have goals, challenges & accountability among themselves, so if anyone decides to do that, let me know. I would love to join in. :wink:
  • I still have 53lbs to go......would love to have a bigger support circle! :) add me please!!!

    Hey everyone! I definately have some weight to loose. I have lost 18 so far and I'm really proud of that. I honestly have no idea how much I need to loose but I would like to be under 200 then start focusing on a real number/goal. I'd love to join your group too! Here's to a healthy life...Sara

    Hey all...why don't we do a challenge together for the week? I do well when I have support and direction.

    The direction helps because when I'm about to do something (like eat cake, I love cake) I tell my self...oh, can't do that because the challenge this week is no sweets or whatever it happens to be.

    So, what do you think? Any ideas of a good challenge? I'm thinking something like a workout challenge anyone with ideas?

    Hi Sara. first of all congrats on being 18 lbs down! You're on your way! A workout challenge is an excellent idea I think. Currently I am committing myself to 45 minutes to an hour 5 days a week. Nothing too intense, but enough to work up a sweat. i try to get in 6 days. Next week my personal challenge is to give up sugared coffee.

    Wow...I only do 30 minutes 3-4 days per week. I will also committ to 45-60 minutes 5 days a week. Sounds like fun! I'm in...here's to a good week!
  • That's me too! I have just over 70 pounds to go :)
  • heyyyy all! Just thought I'd check in to see how everyone is doing today? I had an appointment with my weight loss doctor today, I go every 2-3 weeks. I lost 3.3lbs in 3 weeks, I was a little disappointed, I was hoping for 4 lbs and I figure with diet pills I should be losing at least 2 lbs a week, but I'm not going to stress over it! Any weight loss is good right?

    I'm planning on starting Jillian Michaels 30 day shred tomorrow. Going to do level 1 for 10 days. I'm only worried that it will make me gain weight the first week or 2 from all the toning. Last I tried to do it for a few days and didn't lose any weight. Hope everyone else is doing good!
