Anyone is welcome to add me... Been at this since July 1st and I'm down 127 in just seven months. No Bob, no Jillian, no fads, no diets... just tracking and being responsible for what I do and eat.0

I'm new as well so feel free to add me : )0

I feel the same way. You are not alone. please add me. I try to take it one day at a time. If that is too much for me some days a hour at a time. Don't get down on yourself. Try to stay positive. I know that is not always easy. Exercise has been a great help for me. Some days I have to force myself, but I feel so much better when I do exercise.0

Feel free to add me. Support is important. Being held accountable and helping to be hold someone else accountable keeps you motivated. You also get great work out and meal ideas. And most of the time, you get a great laugh!0

I ran across a quote yesterday on Pinterest - and quite literally did what it said today.
"She woke up one day and threw away all her excuses."
Much easier said than followed...but here's to all of us doing what it takes to achieve what we want!
PS: I'm new too and would love to find some people to cheer for me and for whom I can cheer!!0 -
I still go through waves of "being scared" so much so I used to self sabotage.....it's like our security blanket or binky is being taken away....it DOES go away!!!
Anyone feel free to add me. I am on daily and I am an open book and I log EVERYTHING the good, bad and the ugly lol :flowerforyou:0 -
It's hard to fail on this site. This is the first program I've used that has actually worked for me. Feel free to add me, we can all use the support.0

Feel free to add me. Just do a little better each day and each week. If you make a mistake, learn from it & move on. Focus on how you're changing your behaviors not on just the goal.
I did Zumba for a whole year and only lost about 10 pounds! BUT....after a year, I felt so much healthier, I started to feel confident enough to weight train. Man, am I weak! But, I keep telling myself, a year ago, I wasn't doing ANY of this. I wasn't watching my diet AT ALL.
So on days where you eat too much, don't work out as much as you'd like, etc., think of how many times you did do better.
If you are very out of shape, start with aqua fit classes and Zumba Gold. They are tailored for that! A personal trainer who has worked with those who have injuries or are overweight are also very helpful.0 -
Add me too. I started this journey 1/1 and so far so good. This is the easiest calorie app to use so far!0

You can definitely add me! I am very new, like "today" new, to this site and am also looking to connect with other people struggling through our journey. I've already been here before, losing a large amount of weight, only to gain it right back due to a pregnancy and then just not getting the motivation to get up and repeat the whole process. I just don't feel good about myself anymore and my health is deteriorating rapidly. I need to fix the problem before it gets any worse and I thought this would be a great place to do it. I have a friend who is also trying to lose weight and we're working out together on a daily basis, but it's also nice to connect with more people and share tips and notes. Wishing you the best on your journey! Because it's not a destination... Being healthy is a lifetime achievement. We'll never really be done. We just have to change the way we think hold ourselves accountable for our daily (and sometimes hourly) food and exercise choices. Change is hard for most people, and especially people like us who are trying to do something big. Good luck!

I've been on here for almost a month now and it's takes just a little adjustment. Not the logging - that's super easy - the "what you put in your mouth" thing. That's the toughie. Good luck on your journey. I'm on here just about everyday so feel free to add me if you want.0

I've just rejoined (I wasn't an active member the first time, hmmm....might be why I gained 8 lbs). I'm 49 and have 40 lbs to lose and I've just started so add me and we can motive each other.0
