Long Beach as in California, next to the Pacific Ocean. I am a hppily married to a guy, guy. I am almost done with a career-changing BSN and will be an RN early next year. Losing 100 pounds sounds like science fiction so I am just going to focus on it 10 lbs at a time. I have lost 70 pounds twice before: Once on crazy Optifast in the early 90's and it came back practically overnight, and once on WW and I foolishly let it creep back on. Mostly I want to get off the HTN and DMII meds. If you are local to me, hit me up for a walk.

    Welcome - you're in the right place for accountability & motivation. Nice work on the incremental goals (10 lbs at a time!)

    Welcome! Not exactly local for the walk, but here for accountability. Fell free to add me to your friends list.

    Welcome! Congrats on your BSN and your upcoming RN. What an accomplishment!

    Small goals have worked for me, too, so 10 pounds at a time is very reasonable. Each time you hit a goal, you'll want to work harder to get to the next one!

    I'm not local to you, but hope you find some local MFP folks to walk with. :)
