I need accountability to lose 100+

I said friend me lol - but I meant add me to the group...

Hi, all. I'm 53 and need to lose 60 lbs. I'm diabetic and take pills for it, and I've had this extra weight for the past 15 years or more. I've never been good at exercising, but I'm on day 10 right now of using this app and also PACT. I've been going to the gym (I joined it last year and only went 3 days) almost every day for the past two weeks. I just go on the treadmill and walk fairly fast for 30-45 minutes. I'm in the same boat as some of you that mentioned injuries. I have a disk problem with my spine so I can't raise my arms too high or lift anything without a lot of pain. I just swing my arms up and down a bit while I'm walking - it helps get your heart rate going better if you move your arms as well as walk. I learned that years ago when I took an aerobics class. I can't swim because of my spine; we have a pool and I tried that but it was just too painful. Also, our complex heats the pool, even in the summer, so it's way too warm. I like that the gym is air-conditioned. Anyway, I bought some roller skates (and helmet and pads), which is something I used to a lot as a child and really loved it, so on the weekend I'm going to go to the park across the street and try out the skates to see how it goes. I figured going to the gym for the past two weeks would strengthen my legs a bit. Then I'll decide whether to quit the gym or not and just skate. I'm enjoying reading your guys' posts! I've been trying hard to stick to around 1500 calories per day. Some days are harder than others...

Hi you can add me. Im a few weeks into a 50 pound loss journey and am looking for support as well.

Hi, all! I am coming back to MFP. I'm 5'2 and 230 lbs, so seeking about a 100lb weight loss... Which is daunting. I'm really bad about keeping on track so definitely need someone(s) to hold me accountable. Please add me! I would love to have support to go through this journey with.

Thanks!
