in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone,

I am doing this diet thing again (and again and again and again). Hopefully it will stick this time. I have well over 80 pounds to lose. I am only 5'3" and carrying around all this extra weight is taking it's toll on me!!!

If anyone else needs some support, let me know!! :) I am here for you as well!

    You can do it! I started at 221 lbs at 5'1". I lost 80 lbs now and have a little more to go. It took me from January 2013 until October 2013. Staying consistent is key. Even with mistakes, if you decide to fix the mistake and keep working on it, you will achieve your goal. :)

    Please add me. Sounds like we are in the same boat. We need all the support we can get. I understand about the toll all this weight takes on your body..........knees, back, etc. I'm 52 now and it doesn't get any easier but I made a commitment for my 52nd birthday that by my 53rd birthday I would be well on my weigh to my goal. (have 87 lbs to lose to get there). Here's wishing you great success and an exciting journey!!

    I'm 5'3" as well and I currently weigh more than you do. I started back on 9/15 at 286.4 and today am down to 265.6

    Here's a great quote I refer to all the time:

    IF YOU'RE TIRED OF STARTING OVER, THEN STOP QUITTING!

    :-) There are many of us here trying to make it to ONEderland...you're not alone!!!

    Feel free to add me up as well, I'm 147 pounds but been getting lots of horrible comments lately and decided for the sake of better well being and to be in a happier state, I want to lose 20 pounds before I move to another country. :)
