in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I need/want to lose at least 60 lbs and I am looking for friends that have that same goal. I have had great success with Atkins in the past but for some reason my body is not wanting to do this again. So...I have joined a gym, gave myself a kick start with GNC shakes for morning and lunch and eat a sensible meal at night. I could use encouragement on this road trip. In return I will be an active friend that will listen to you when you have a bad day or come up with tips for healthy meals or snacks!!

    I need to lose 80 lbs. and my body doesn't want to let go of the weight I've carried for at least 40 years! I'm logging all of my food and connected with MapMyWalk and will be walking with my husband! My knees are not in great shape, so I'm going to work on Pilates 20 minute workouts for my first two weeks and then graduate up.

    I think the best thing to do is blog with others to hold each other accountable and come up with great snacks and recipes. Hope you add me too!

    Yup I added you guy's...forgive me if sometimes my sentences do not make any sense. I tend to write and talk backwards English, so I have been told. I am a Western European and we tend to do things backwards, with years but also in talking/writing.

    I am going to need all the encouragement I need as I am sick and tired of carrying this weight with me!!! Please kick me when I tend to slack off or disappear from this board for a day!! I need accountability (so glad spellcheck worked in that last word!)

    Hey-
    You mentioned Atkins..have you tried Advocare products? I have used them, love them. Started with the 24-day challenge as a jump-start.

    I am in desperate need of friends, so please add me! I have done Atkins in the past with great success, but like you, I cannot get started on it again. I started dieting and exercising in June of 2012 because my oldest daughter was gettng married and I didn't want to be huge in all of her wedding pictures. By late Fall 2013 I had lost almost 50 pounds and felt great. But Christmas came and I haven't been able to get back on track. I have kept up exercising but my eating is out of control. I also started a new job, which I love, but I sit almost all day and that is not helping either. So today, I am committed to logging everything, the good, the bad and the ugly. My ultimate goal would be to loose another 20 pounds, but I would be happy with 15 pounds. Cheers!

    I'll send you a request! I did Atkins 10 years ago and lost 48 pounds in 2 months. Tried again this summer and NOTHING!! Counting calories has been incredible and learning to do it right is the key!! I'm on a big weight loss journey, I'd love to have another friend on it!!

    Anyone else is free to add me too! I love the motivation that comes from other people!! :-)

    Hi!! I would like to lose 60 myself, but I will start with 10.
    I was looking for inspiration and I believe I found some! I just can't live like this any longer!
    Happy to motivate you as well! Let the journey begin!

    You can do this, girl! If I can do it, you certainly can. Add me if you wish, so we can encourage each other. I'm about 6 lbs from my goal, but the last few pounds don't come off easily. The first 60 lbs that I lost came off in about 18 months, but I learned that it is not about speed, it is about healthy vigilant eating and consistent exercise. YOU CAN DO THIS.
