Hello everyone!!
My name is Sierra, I am 22 years old and 310lbs. I am looking to get down to about 150-160lbs. I am feeling defeated because I don't really have that much support and people to talk to that are in the same position as me. So if you are looking for a friend please add and we can talk!

I'm in the same boat. Better to lose weight while you're young than waiting till you're 30! It gets harder the older you get.
Setting smaller goals is a good start, my first goal is to be back under 300 lbs.0 -
I'm in the same boat and have been flip/floping back and fourth.
I am getting back on board and feel free to add me.0 -
I dropped 110lb's a while back.
Just some random advice while I'm trying to tire myself before bed.
- Set to 2lb's a week.
- Drink alot of water. Thats your new favorite drink
- Exercise is always welcomed 30-60 minutes a day
- Going over on protein is perfectly fine. MFP default is pretty low tbh.
- Going over on Carbs isn't fine
- Fats aren't that bad in the long run.
- Planning food a day ahead gives you a good head start.
- Don't cut out foods you like. Don't make it a punishment. The key about losing weight is self control.
- Drink alot of water. Can't stress that enough.
- Take a Probiotic and make sure you get enough fiber.
- Don't worry about getting crazy with watching sugars and such early on. Focus on the basics follow your macro's.
- You don't want to lose 100lb's you want to lose 10lbs then another 10lbs. Make the goals easy and never look at it as huge challenge the more of mountain you make it feel like the more you'll want to quit. 100lbs can be an overall goal but make 5-10lbs the direct goal. Always have something in reach its not a race just pace yourself.
- Have fun, don't feel like you can't go out with friends and hide in a corner and eat just rice cakes. 1 bad night/meal won't ruin everything. The biggest mistake I see here is someone has a bad day and over reacts and ends up getting into a relapse and giving up.
- When you get closer to your overall goal start to slow down the weight loss. The goal is to be able to maintain when you lose the weight.

Hey I just started losing in Nov and already off to a great start, my tip would be to set your goal to lose just a little at the start. When you get more comfortable with the new eating habits of tracking calories, drop it down a bit. I went from eating 3400 at the start to around 2000 now. Was difficult at first but find foods you like that are low, this way its not depriving yourself of grey tasting things. Also,water helps you not feel hungry all the time as well.0

Add me ! I put my food in every day and comment every day to the people who comment to me ! That's the way I like to do it. I don't tell people what to eat - just encourage them !0
