DOES ANYONE WANT TO LOSE 35-40 LBS WITH ME!?!

I'm in, too! I'm down 9 lbs and want to lose 40 more...I've had a bad week and feeling down about it. Add me, I definitely need all the support/motivation I can get!

So what is everyones favorite tip?

Honestly, I'm so easily discouraged. What helps me keep my motivation is looking at the amazing success stories on here and it gets me so excited to be on one of those threads someday. I literally look at them every night. It's a huge motivation booster! If they can do it, I can too! Not only that, but joining challenges on here helps a lot too. Right now I'm in a group that's starting the 30 Day Shred on Monday and it feels good to know that I have a group of people doing this with me. It makes me feel accountable and it makes it fun!

count me in!! i need all the extra motivation i can get!! i'm just starting out on this site! its awesome being able to track everything. it really helps put things into prospective

@kayperestrello and cdemumbrane
That is some great motivation. I like to ready peoples success stories too.

My thing is boredom eating, and emotional eating. I love working out, just wish I had more time to do it. So what I do is at the beginning of each week I store cut up fresh veggies in the front of my fridge at eye level, and I hide all the bad stuff in the back! So when I go looking for food, it's the first thing I see and 8 times out of 10 I'll grab it! It's really helped me with healthy snacking

i do want to lose 40!!! what kind of support would you give me? he he

So far what I've found helpfull is to document EVERYTHING! I took measurments of all different parts of my body (stomach, hips, thigh, arm, ect.) and I took pictures of my body (without sucking in) from every angle and I look at them for motivation.

Documentation is so awesome! I think I've only lost 3 pounds so far, but I've lost 3" off my waist--which feels incredible. I haven't gotten around to taking pictures yet (probably this weekend), but I saw a video of myself like a month ago and cannot believe how big I looked. I never want to look like that on camera again <--my motivation

My favorite fitness tip is to exercise whenever I feel hungry--not like major stuff but like 50 jumping jacks. It gets my mind off of food and alleviates boredom (which is the main cause of my snackage). I also like to do jumping jacks while microwaving things (tea, food, hot water bottle, etc).

Please count me in!!!! I was doing very well and than had some health issues.:noway: Still recovering from surgery however, I am resuming walking. Only 10-20 min. at a time:grumble: but, I will definitely need your help and motivation to get back to where I was!!!! Also, look forward to the opportunity to meet new friends!!!!! :flowerforyou:

Let's do this!!!!!:drinker:
