    Hi,

    I am new to the site, I have no kids and I dont work (probably why I have been struggling to lose weight) too much time on my hands. I have 20 plus pounds to lose that I gained this past year. I fell in love with my dream guy (thats the good part) but BAM with that love came all this weight! UGh all we do is eat, and its fine because hes a guy and works out all the time but I cant do that! Im a girl! My body and metabolism is different! Help!!!! How are you guys doing?

    I added you Jazie

    Elanor -- This site is really good to track what you are actually putting into your body. I knew I overate but I had no idea just how much! What about working out with him? Does he eat unhealthy?

    hey thanks for the ad!

    You are right, and I was surprised that they have (so far) had all the specific brands of food which makes it so convenient! The good news is he just bought me a bike a few days ago so we are trying to ride everyday! Fortunately I have always been athletic but have made the mistake of being like "ohh I worked out" so therefore I can binge eat...He eats I would say 75 % healthy, like he likes vegetables, fruit, his mom cooks a lot of healthy food which he eats, we very RARELY eat fast food, he has a sweet tooth though...

    and yeah I have always had a problem with overeating, like even in highschool when I was pretty thin I would occasionally crazy binge eat, like it is shocking how much I can eat!! and how even if I was SOOO full to the point of discomfort, I would still eat! the other day I had 3 big cinnamon buns with creamcheese frosting (really good but like 900 cals each), a family size bag of chips a container or hummus, and like 3 pieces of pizza, and that was just the afternoon/dinner. like WHAT THE HELL!! Thats NOT right lol...

    Another side note, I used to smoke cigarettes and party a lot and now I dont do either of those things so I think the weight has crept on a bit since stopping my unhealthy addictions and was replaced with food addiction..

    How is your diet going?? What healthy foods do you like to eat? Do you workout?

    I did not think veggies where delicious either lol but surprisingly now I do! :P

    I have already reached my goal it only took me 9 months, feel free to add me if you have any questions. I am not on here as much as I use to be. But I am still here a few times a week.

    Elanor -- sorry I stopped my email notifications because they were plugging up my email but then I started missing a lot of stuff so I just turned it back on!

    Anyhow, things are going pretty good so far.
    Just less than 20 pounds in a month -- however it was the first month and lost a lot of water weight bloatedness the first week. Now its the hard part...ugh! I hope I can stick with this!
    I have been pretty good with exercising however nothing too crazy. My hips get very irritated quickly so it can be a bit of a challenge some days. I did start going back to physio though so hopefully they can give me a few more ideas as to what I can do - I also bought a good pair of shoes which helps! Now I have to get orthotics! I have a heart rate monitor that I use and when my hips are feeling good I usually walk/jog and keep myself within my range....when it drops i jog until it gets near the top and then go back to a walk again. I also like this for calorie counting (I do my best not to eat back calories though -- I use this more just to see what I'm doing to see where I can improve)
    As for the eating I have been doing an okay job staying within my macros however I am still eating a lot of processed food. With easter and my birthday all in the past week though I am quite impressed with myself.
    I like a few veggies (turnup, carrots and broccoli raw and brussel sprouts and asperagus cooked)
    I really like fruit but the sugar in there can be quite challenging. I bought a yonana's "icecream" machine which is quite nice to help get through a craving.
    After I get through all the processes junk I bought on my last grocery trip I am going to try my best to cut back on that, as well I am hoping to get off wheat and dairy for a bit because I think thats hindering me more than helping!

    How are things going for you??

    Anyone else looking for more friends by all means feel free to add me :-)

    I've been on here since February, but interested in getting some friends around my age with similar weight loss goals.


    No kids, physically active job (perennial plant nursery), neutral view on veggies :)

    Hi everyone. I'm new to the site, I am 25 years old and I have to lose 46 more lbs. I would like more friends on here also. P.s. A REALLY great workout app is FitStar, you have your own personal trainer and it tells you how much cals. You have burned and everything. I love it and you will too. Feel free to add me. Good luck to everyone on your weight loss journey. :)

    Hi! I'm 25, I have a little more than 65 lbs to lose. This is my second go around, I lost 25lbs last year but gained it back from school/work and all that fun stuff. This time I am ready to do it for good, I log in everyday and I'm determined. I have an office job too but I do love (some) veggies..lol. Feel free to add me! :)
