in Introduce Yourself
Hi all! I'm female, 27, and have 60-80 lbs to lose... I'm about 220 right now, and it's been so long since I was I healthy weight that I'll have to see what 160 looks like and see if I want to lose another 10 or 20 after that.

I'm trying to keep up with counting calories, eating right (I do SO much better if I focus on protein and avoid simple carbs). Drinking enough water is huge for me too, I lost 4.5 lbs my second day here, but bounced right back - I think it was water weight, or nearly all of it was anyhow. So drinking at LEAST 8 glasses a day is crucial.

Life is very busy and hectic for me right now, and I don't have a lot of control over my food choices sometimes, though that should improve within a few weeks. I'm having a hard time staying on track and recording everything every day so I'm hoping some folks would like to join me in this journey, and add me as a buddy on here. Ideally I'm looking for buddies who are in a similar situation (girls about the same age and or with about the same amount to lose). But anybody who whats to be my buddy is welcome! :)

    Welcome! I am sure you will find tons of support here! Feel free to add me as a buddy...I, too, want to see how I look/feel at 160 before re-evaluating my goals.

    Good luck!!!!

    Welcome! I climbed to my highest at 220 in 2004-2005 and lost about 30 pounds that I've kept off. My goal is 160 and beyond (if possible) so I'd love to follow you along your journey!

    Best of luck and expect a friend request coming your way :)

    Welcome, I too just started today, and I'm loving it so far. I'm 50 years of age, but I have about 85-90lbs to loose. I would love to add you as a buddy, so that we can motivate each other.
