Hey

My name is Naomi and I am looking for a few friends on here who are at the same point as me, just starting out with around 100lb to loose, for a bit of online support and motivation from others who have the same kind of goals

I currently weigh in at a little under 20stone and i'd like to get down to around 180lb, the upper end of a healthy weight for someone my height!

I am almost 35 and married with 2 small children who .are my biggest motivation xxx

    I just started the first part of January and, like you, I want to lose 100 pounds. I've lost 14 so far. I wear a Fitbit and that helps keep me on track. I also do Weight Watchers but I plan on quitting it and just using this website to keep track of my calories. I'm 56 and have a 3 year old granddaughter. She's my motivation. I want to keep up with her! Best of luck!

    How's the Fitbit working for you? I want to buy one but I don't want to drop $100 and it's not accurate.

    Hi I'm Rose, I'll be 48 next week and have two grand kids 3 and 1. They are my motivation, plus, I'm a diabetic and need to get off one more pill, (got off my insulin and glyburide last summer. :smile: ) I need to lose 100 pound too. I've already lost around 38 lb from last year. I'm competing in a 12 week weight loss competition at my gym, this is the beginning of week 3. I lost 8 the first week, gained 2 the second, grrrrr. I try to make it to the gym 5 days a week like I have been. (I kinda fell off the wagon Oct-Dec) with diet and exercise) It's hard to get back on track with keeping my carbs in check. I love bread! lol. I'm Having a hard time with carb withdrawls, maybe that's why I gain 2lb last week? I'm new to logging food on this site, I usually log onto Spark people. The people running the weight loss contest wants us to use this site. So I just started using this site 2 weeks ago and trying to get used to things on this site.

    Hi! I am trying to lose 100, too. I started less than two weeks ago and have lost 4 lbs. It seems like a huge journey, but I am bound and determined to succeed by taking it one day at a time. I get a lot of inspiration from the stories people post in the Success Stories community. If they can do it, so can we!
