    I am one week new to the site -- still figuring it out -- but found everyone to be super supportive --

    Please add me --

    I am using my daughters CrossFit firends diet -- and have added more exercise to my life --

    Don't think this is typical but 8.5 this week -- today is actual weigh-in day for me --

    I have 50 pounds to loose so I am sure it's why I lost so much to this point -- plus diet is pretty crazy --

    From me to you -- you can do it -- we are all here for you -- good luck --

    I am really working at this hard, but gained over a pound this week and do not know why, I stay within my calorie allowance, cardio and weights 5 times a week, what am I doing wrong, I am frustrated, but I am not going to cheat!!!!!! Anyone have any answers. I have yo, yo dieted all my life, on thyroid meds, blood pressure meds, acid reflux meds, I am tired of taking all of this. Someone please respond. I am older than most of you, will be 65 next month and do not work anymore.

    I'm new too. I find this hard to keep at when you don't have support and the last thing I want to do is fall off the wagon, especially since I just started.

    Hi everyone!

    I am new as well. Still figuring out how to use the site. I would love some motivation as I have been eating well, but not getting all the exercise in....

    I'm not sure what it means to add someone? But if that's a good thing, please add me. I need the support:)

    Sounds like you are hitting plateau and adding more muscle. Give it a few weeks. If you don't start seeing a loss try redoing the BMR calculator and adjusting your calories (which doesn't always mean you need to eat less, sometimes you need to eat more). Don't be frustrated. Veiw it as a body change that you need to listen to. :)

    Hi,
    I am new here also going to turn 65 in a few months. I have a goal of not turning 65 as I am now @ 220 . I have been walking now for 64 days & worked up to 10,000 steps for about 75 min. I watch everything I eat & drink lots of water but have only lost around 3 lbs. My daughter says it's my age & metabolism!!! THANKS Jill !!! Read somewhere the other day that apple cider vinegar would up the metabolism, so needless to say I'm giving it a try, it's been a week now but I haven't been on the scales. I have considered throwing the scales out & just going with measurements . What do you do ? I have a lot of stress in my life with an aging mother who has Alzheimer's & lives in our sleepy little town. Also have a brother who lives here in town that doesn't do anything to help out. So how do you get rid of the stress ??? Probably not !!!
    Anyway...maybe together .....
