    I'm Lisa. I'm looking for accountability buddies. This is my story. I've been overweight all my life. I have type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure and I damaged my heart from my crummy diet. God was tapping on my shoulder to make a change, but I was ignoring Him. You can only ignore God so long before He gives you a kick in the backside. I weighed 327 lbs. and I got that kick. After being rushed to the ER, I vowed to eat healthy and I lost 130 lbs. That summer I started swimming laps even though I am a crummy swimmer, and in the winter I was walking, but only a mile 3 Xs week. After I broke 200 lbs., I decided I was going to "maintain" for awhile even though I still had not made it all the way to my goal of 150. For awhile I was doing great but I started slipping gradually. Constant knee problems made it hard to walk and right now, I haven't swam laps since the summer. I vowed I was not going to allow myself to regain all my weight back so here I am. I weighed myself January 12 and I have gained back almost 50 lbs over the last 2 years! (I thought I gained back about 25! How we live in denial! ) I almost hit the floor. I have kept a food journal when I lost weight before. It was in a notebook, but this time I'm trying this and hope having friends will help me to achieve my goals of getting healthy and staying that way! I support your efforts, feel free to add me and maybe we can help each other! And anyone else who reads this is welcome to add me!

    Also hope I can help some ladies out, I used to weigh 210 lbs and got all the way down to 140 lbs before getting pregnant with my daughter! Hoping I can provide insight as I regain motivation to get back to that 140 lbs!!

    Hi everyone! I'm going to friend request everyone here too - I lost 18lbs this past summer and early fall, then took a weight loss break. Now I'm back for 2.0 and ready to lose the next 30. For me, it's all about calories and I don't generally do much exercise. I'd like to change that at some point but I have a super demanding life situation, running a quickly growing business and chasing after a three year old boy and having a lot of major family illnesses to deal with at the moment (like so many of us, I know). Anyway, focusing on food is enough for me for now! I want to lose twenty five pounds by June 1st, and I'll have a normal BMI for the first time in seven years. Looking forward to supporting each other and watching everyone make amazing life changes!
