Hi everone. I have roughly 80 pounds to lose. It's going to be a long journey. With the right motivation I know this time is going to be different. I have already cut out regular drinks and fast food. Just need some motivational buddies to help along the way!:glasses:

    Those first two steps are really good ones. I know that, before I started this, I was eating fast food way too much (sometimes twice a day). You can do it! I still have a ways to go, but this website has really helped keep me on track so far.

    good luck! guess we're all here for the same reason. I'm proud of you for cutting the regular drinks out. That's my biggest problem. Any advice

    I love to help! add me if you want, just want to put a disclaimer out there. I believe in tough love and no excuses ;D, that was my hardest down fall - i was full of excuses and friends who fed into them. So i don't do that to my friends, nor my self any longer :D

    You can add me, if you want. I am much like sassy0913, although it's easier to hard on others (I make a great coach) than myself - so what goes around has to come around!

    I was just about to start a new post about needing friends on here to motivate me and keep me accountable and then I saw your post! Add me as a friend and we can help each other! I also have about 60 more pounds to lose (at least)....

    I've lost 65 pounds, and still have 85 to go before I reevaluate. You'll do great if you take it one day at a time. It's so great to get connected to people on here who have similar goals:)
