Hello! I've lost about 40 pounds so far since my highest weight, but I am in a rut. I'm looking for some extra motivation and accountability!

First weigh in - 250.2 this morning

For exercise I like to jog. and do some home workout videos. I am currently doing Turbo Fire!

I am 24 and really I am too young to be feeling this way. I wanna be healthy, strong, and hot!

I am in for this challenge and supporting others!

Hello! I am excited to join this group! I have lost some weight over the last 12 months however I have hit a "platue" and have seen some gain, which sucks! I am looking forward to getting back on track and hopefully motivaiting those who need it from time to time. I am currently at 220lbs and wanting to get down to the 100's by March!! :flowerforyou: :bigsmile:

Hello, I'm really excited about joining this group! Thanks for creating it! I have about 40 lbs to lose and just can't seem to motivate myself long enough to stick a healthier lifestyle. I hope that with the help of this group and the support from others who have similar goals, I will be able to stay on track!

PS - my biggest challenge is finding time to exercise. Not only do I have two young children, but I also work full-time. Hoping to hear of others who are in a similar situation and can help me to find a way to manage my time better. I'm thinking that waking up really, really early might be the only option but we'll see

Hello peeps. I would like to feel fit like a kid that lifts their own body weight with in the jungle gym. My 2 year old niece needs an uncle to keep up with her. Also I am losing weight to be more appealing when I am in the dating scene and over all improve my health for the long term. I like to incorporate exercises and an eating approach that I know I will be able to do even if life throws a curveball at me.

I have a pull-up bar on my bathroom door and try to beat my max each morning. I come back to it after work. I started this in the summer on and off. I am now at 6 lifts starting from a arms extended hanging position. I can do 11 of the bicep curl. I started doing planks and side lifts for core muscle training this week. For cardio in the day I walk around the track near by on my breaks and climb the stadium steps sometimes. I also use the elliptical machine in the gym of my apartment for 30 minutes on max resistance in the evening.

Consistency has been a problem.

I've lost as much as 25lbs at one point but now I am back to 14. I wasn't doing strength training but am now. So even though the scale has actually gone up I am thinking I am swapping fat for muscle this time.

Good luck everyone!

I've been off the bandwagon for awhile but the point is to keep trying.

2 weeks ago I hired a trainer to see me 4 times. It is a good way to get into a routine and I can hire him for more sessions as I need to challenge myself. With my calorie intake I should loose a pound a week. I've GAINED 8 lbs since I've started hitting the gym regularly. That's alright I have more energy and the aches and pains are gone. The rest will follow.

Since having my 2 kids I have gone from 110 to 160, Im down to 145 now after healthy eating and going to the gym. But since moving I haven't joined a gym and my weight hasn't budged and my healthy eating has been, well, off. I want to lose this weight so I can feel comfortable and not need to worry about how my shirts hugging me.

I also know a few people who chose to lose weight by not eating and as excited as they get about getting skinny so fast, they always complain when they do start eating again, that they gain it right back. Maybe if I can do this the healthy way, they can see how it works for me and how its easier to keep the weight off doing it the healthy way.

Hello Everyone.

I'd like to join this group because I really need the support and the accountability.

I lost a little over 20lbs about 2yrs ago by following the Weight Watchers system. However, since then I've gained it all back. Now I'd really like to lose it on my own without paying a service. The only reason I can come up with for having not been successful up to this point (other than my own lack of discipline) is that I no longer have the support system. So, this will be my first time joining a group and reaching out to others. I look forward to being of any encouragement and I hope you all do the same.

Hello! my data is added to the spreadsheet! I really think this is the motivation I need right now!
