Hello Everyone! I've been on here about 2 weeks and I looking for those around the same weight to buddy up with. My goals are to lose 5 lbs each month and to be down to 220 by the first of December. I know it's a very ambitious goal, but I'm absolutely ready to quit dieting and make a lifestyle change in my life :) Hope to hear from you soon!

p.s. Any advice or support would definitely be appreciated!!

    I was in the EXACT same boat. I started the website the day my sister got engaged because I did NOT want to face a bridesmaids dress. I started this site at 230, 5'2 last July. By that September I had lost 25lbs strictly from following this site and eating only the amount of calories it told me, about 1500. That September I experienced a slight plateau and had to suck it up and start working out.

    From that Septemeber through February I had dropped 42lbs. After my sister's wedding I fell off the wagon and this is where I am today, at 22lbs lost from my original weight but working hard to get back on track.

    Good luck and feel free to message me anytime. The road is long and tough. Some days its sucks, you want to cry and possibly have a cheeseburger :) Just know that this website saved me and will you too as long as you stay on it.

    Congratulations on your first 5lbs! Feels good, huh!?

    Hi! I joined this site in April and I started at 245 and although I have been on a 3 week plateau I have lost 14 lbs. since then. It is definitely doable IF YOU PUT YOUR MIND to it. You have to hold yourself accountable and if you mess up a meal or a day then get back on the horse. You CAN do this!!! Welcome :flowerforyou:

    Uh takeing Hcg injections & eating ONLY 500 calories a day is not safe & neither is that diet.

    Moving on...

    I'm in the 220's now and my GW is at least 140. I lost 40lbs doing WW 2 years ago but got pregnant with twins & had to stop. I know its hard but changing the way you think about food is the best thing you can do for yourself. If you need a friend or someone to talk to I'd be happy to help :)

    Yes you're so right about HCG injections, I looked up information on it.. def think that's somebody who has a page as an advertisement, maybe?
