I'm Amber. I'm not new to trying to lose weight. I've just been out of the game for a while.

I remember when I thought only needing to lose 10 pounds was hard (I'm 4'10)....now I have 25 and I'm a little overwhelmed. Its the first time I've needed to lose this much weight. I've let myself creep up to this by making lots of excuses, making poor food choices and saying "I'll start tomorrow" a lot. I've kind of mapped me out a time line on how long it will take if I lost 1 pound a week (which may not be realistic, but I can hope) - It's going to be a long journey....no more excuses!

Anyone else in the same boat? Want to be friends and help support each other?

    Hey, I know exactly how you feel!
    Just think of it this way;
    Imagine the next 3 months passing. Now you could spend those three months eating right, exercising and looking after yourself, or you could spend them making the wrong food choices and continuing to say 'i'll start tomorrow'.
    The version of you 3 months now depends on the choice you make today, and believe me '3-months-from-now' Amberh82 will appreciate it if you start making healthy choices today. You don't want to look back and say ' I should have started then'.
    So start now! You have nothing to lose but the weight :)

    I've sent a friend request :)
