Starting all over again - looking for support!

Options
Hi there, I am a 6 foot tall, 248 pound, 25 year old woman...desperately trying to lose weight. My goal weight is 160 pounds. I few years ago I went from 255 to 188 using Medifast...SO...I am starting it all over again tomorrow and doing an hour of cardio, 100 sit ups, and 50 push ups a day to try to get to where I want to be again by Jan 1st, so I can start the new year off as the best new year I have had in a while. I also want to have children, but if I got pregnant now, it would be even harder to lose the weight at the end...so..here I go again, looking for support and any tips you have for working out!

    I got a dog who walks me, I love swimming, water aerobics kind of thing, and I do really enjoy lifting weights. Oh and the ocean, swimming in the ocean. What do you really love to do. Cause that's what you'll keep doing. Also, the calorie tracker on here has been really helpful. I started at 250 and have had no problem yet (knocking on wood) losing the two pounds a week, and I'm eating coconut cream ice cream at night. Just a little, but it's chocolate. I have learned things like chili, and chips and salsa are not going to fit into my eating plan. Good Luck, :bigsmile:

    Hi Chrissypants7 and everyone! I just joined about an hour ago! I would love to join your group and also gain some friends myself! I have 2 kids and my husband and have been trying to conceive our third for a while and I think my weight 90kg and health has something to do with getting all the negative pregnancy tests! So enough is enough, I'm here to sort myself out, I'm excited!

    Anyone can feel free to add me also. I lost about 100lbs a few years ago but sadly gained a huge chunk of it back. Been back on track for a couple months and have about 75 more to go. This time I'm I'm never going back :)

    Add me, I'm nice :)
    I'm 30 and trying to get fit for a few reasons. Sure I want to lose some weight but I also want more energy so I can keep up with my 3 little kids. I work out at home for about 50 minutes a day. It's the eating that's really tough on me. I LOVE FOOD. Plus, I feel like since I'm currently a stay at home mom I am constantly around food and preparing it. (don't get me started on graham crackers, those dunked in my coffee ...seriously crack) Snacking is where I need the most support.
