    Great job folks!
    I keep telling myself that eventually the weight's gotta go somewhere!

    Keep it up!

    Hi, hope it's ok to join this late in the month!
    I don't have a lot to lose:
    SW 120lb
    CW 120lb
    GW 114lbs

    But I am having real trouble shifting it! I used to run 20+ miles per week and although I'm still managing 10, and cycling everywhere, I am snacking way too much and comfort eating to cope with work stress!

    I was a steady 112 until this March, and it's crept up and up...

    Hoping some accountability will help :)

    I have gotten down to 206 but have struggled since May and have gained some back. I still haven't given up and hope joining this message board will help keep me motivated. Having a support system is so important!
