    We all go through ups and downs along the way. The main thing is your cone back to try again. Stick with it mate. :)

    We can all support each other...I'm starting today and don't even want to think about how much I need to lose. I'm 5' 1 1/2" (used to be 5'4" when the charts were nicer to me) and weight 240. I had gastric bypass surgery and was down to 150 but due to some illnesses couldn't exercise and then was put on high doses of Prednisone long term which brought on food cravings and the pounds really started coming back on. Still having a hard time exercising as I had a knee replacement but tore my meniscus in the other knee while I was in rehab for my knee replacement which limited my exercise program. My knee replacement hasn't healed as well as it should have. I got a puppy since then to help me get out so I have to walk him which helps. My doctor tells me I have so much going against me with my medical conditions and medications and would be thrilled to have me lose 20 lbs. in the next 2 years. I was shocked!!!! I think I have more than that in me. But I need to cut back on my carbs. They help with my anxiety and depression...I seem to crave them so much. One day at a time and charting...right????

    Feel free to add me, have lost just over 30lbs since Jan, I have about another 83 to go to get under 200, then we'll see where we are at. I've sort of got it all figured out, never thought I could lose weight but I can (slowly) so I'll help in any way I can!

    Hi, good luck. I think this is a great place for support and information in doing things healthily and sustainably. I wanted to lose nearly 140lb from my highest weight, still got a long way to go, but feeling so many benefits already. You won't regret it!!
