Hello! I'm 22 from Chicago, trying to lose about 40lbs. I've been on here for a little over a week and am excited to make a lifestyle change! I'm a great motivator looking for other motivators to really kick some butt. Add me if you wanna do this thing!!

    You can do it! Drink lots a water and do cardio 5 days a week. I walk about 15000 steps a day at my job so that helps me but if are not active at work you gotta make up for it w cardio

    Thanks for the support everyone!
    Tjobe: I've been doing 30 min of cardio for 6 days a week and at college I walk 10,000 steps a day usually. I've only started about 2.5 weeks ago but I think knowing what to eat is what is harder for me. Thanks for the tips you're great!

    I am also from Chicago and trying to lose. Have not been doing the greatest. My weight keeps going up and down even though I am working out 4-5 days a week. Hopefully all the snow we had and all the shoveling the past couple days will help me next time I get on the scale

    Also from Chicago, living in Hyde Park. Doing this as a student is hard, so support is definitely important. Added you!

    Hey Chicago! I live out in the suburbs in Homer Glen, IL. Let's be friends!

    Awesome! Thanks all! I'm so glad to have such great support, hopefully I can help y'all out too! I currently go to NIU and it's definitely hard to do this on a college budget when not much food around here is healthy.
    Mcjaegs: you can totally do it! What I've been realizing is that the weight loss had a lot more to do with my diet than the exercise. It's good to exercise of course but the calorie ratio is important.
