Only 45? ONLY???
That is great. Look at it this way - you are 1/3 of the way there. What a great start. you lose a pound a week - and that is about what you did - you will keep it off.
Congratulations and keep after it - only 2 more years to go and you will be where you want to be.0 -
Hi everyone. Just got started again. I need to lose 100lbs too. I'm an emotional eater and last year was a tough one for me. At 215lbs I'm the heaviest I have ever been and feeling it everywhere. Feel free to add me and I will do the same. I can use any support one is willing to offer. Good luck, we can do this!0

And I'm on a 200 lb weight loss journey. I figure it will take 3 to 4 years. It's been one year and I'm down 65 lbs. I'm never going to say only 65. I'm doing the happy dance. Then we're getting back to work! !

My goal is to get under 200 lbs and then see where I feel comfortable. I exercise a little but my knees are too bad to do much (hence the dieting). I certainly know what it feels like to have a long way to go in terms of weight loss but I can see that it is possible now and am very much enjoying getting rid of clothes that are now way too big and buying in much smaller sizes! If I can help, then please add me!

That's a great idea. I saw a quote the other day where the poster said, "I didnt lose 225 lbs. I lost one pound 225 times."

please add me, I am at my heaviest and know that I need to get into action to be healthy. Every year I make a resolution to lose weight and get off to a good start, but never keep it up. This year, I made a resolution to get healthy, without a number attached and WILL see results in all of my life. Health encompasses so much more and I am ready. Looking forward to connecting with all of you. If I am to put a number on it, I do have 130 pounds to lose.0

Hi, my name is Avery. I have restarted my journey. I would like to join y'all. I am 5'9" and weigh 333#s. I simply MUST lose this weight. I discovered last year that my thyroid has stopped working. I think that is one of the reasons I gained so much weight. Of course, I now have many different related medical issues. I'm certain that I'd I get rid of this weight I will also get rid of some of my medical issues. As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. My friend and I have a Facebook group called Our Journey to Svelte. We post healthy recipes, exercise tips, support, jokes, and even our slips, trips, and falls. Check it out, and join us if you like.0
