hey guys! My name is Ashley, I'm 5'5" and currently in the 170s :# , looking to lose about 30lbs. This is THE BIGGEST I have ever been and I am miserable inside and out. This time last year I had lost 25 lbs. with low-carb and using the treadmill daily. It's depressing that all my hard work went down the drain. I am looking for friends to add so we can help motivate each other and stay on track THIS TIME! Please feel free to add me! Good luck and health to everyone! :wink:

    Barb! Swimming is an excellent choice for burning cals and speed walking is actually how I was successful in my weight loss before. Let's keep each other on track this time. Thanks for the add :-)

    I am 5'2" I weight 188 lbs. I used to weight 120 before kids. I got back down to 130 after having them...then I let myself go. I have lots of problems with myself. I hate looking at me. I have tried many times to lose the weight but always hit a wall and then quit. Looking to find people who will help me keep going this time...and lose my goal weight of 40 lbs!!

    What kinds of meal plans is everyone following? Has anyone heard of the skinnymom 10 day shred? That's what I'm starting out with this time.

    I SO know what you mean. I hate looking at myself also because it's like I don't even recognize myself anymore. But, a lot of times we are our biggest critics and the way see ourselves isn't how others see us. Don't be discouraged and let's just take it ONE day at a time. :-)

    Looking for support as well so feel free to add me. I would love to keep each other motivated! I'm 5' at 150 lbs with 30 pounds to lose. Started this healthy lifestyle January 5th- my plan is to workout 3 times a week and clean eat, as much as possible at least until February 5th. I will reassess on that day and see what is working for me and what's not. Good luck everyone!

I just turned 40 and am 5"5 and 158lbs, i'd like to get back down to 136lbs...had really bad marital problems over the summer and gave up my running to work on my marriage...end result we are still together and doing much better but i did too much emotional eating and not enough moving...this year is about me, learning to put myself first and exercise in moderation to balance my husband and 4 kids...we can do this girls.

    Hi guys! I'm 5'8 I've gotten down to 163 but I can't get the scale to move! I want to be 135-140. I have hard time staying motivated when I don't see the scale move for a few weeks. I am looking for friends that we can help keep each other motived. I'm hoping the more people I have checking in with me everyday and the more I check in on them more I will stay motived. I am open for any help I can get with diet/exercise/motivation. I am trying to eat clean and my goal is to start working out 6 days a week. I would love to get back to my old weight of 138 by summer! Please help!!! ;)
