So 2014 sucked. I gained 50lbs. My heaviest was 325, currently 316. Lost my mom to <3 Disease and decided I don't want to die in 20 years. For me weight loss is 30% diet 20% exercise and 50% ATTITUDE. Seeking friends with weight loss goals so we can support each other. CHEERS 2 GETTIN LEAN IN 2015!

    Hi ladies. I;m 47 and have lost 60 + pounds in the last year and a half. I have been here about a week and dropped another pound which is good. I have been stuck between 240 and 243 for a while. Hoping this new process will help me drop the remaining 40 pounds. Feel free to add me if you would like. Im better at exercise than diet but we can figure it out I guess.

    Hello, I am about to turn 45 in April and stepped on the scale to witness the numbers 199 in HD. (Smile) I would really like to lose 50 pounds and keep it off. I also would love to be apart of a group that support & lift one another up.

    Ikr - Like I skipped the soup with salad so I could have a scoop of ice cream. In theory I should still lose weight even though I had ice cream because I am right at the limit. If this works, I can do this because I don't want to deny myself, but I want to lose weight. Fats at 33%, I'll take that

    Yep from what I gather from some of the folks who have been here is that the key is calorie defecit....no matter how you can do it. If you can fit the calories into your program and stay under its good.

    Like I love bread...but I have to switch to a better kind of bread because some of it is loaded with calories....easy to go way above where I wanna be. So this weekend I am gonna hunt down better bread like tortillas and pita and such.

    I like bread but not at 230 calories and up lol

    You are "preaching to the choir" about bread. I could go BubbaGump shrimp on bread (Wonder bread - classic, French bread, Italian bread, ooohhh Portuguese rolls Lobster cheddar bay biscuits, MY GRANDMOTHER'S BISCUITS - my attempt at humor) I bought Arnolds Sandwich Rounds. The honey wheat flavor. It's pretty good, I actually mad a panini on the George Foreman and it was good!

    I did a trader joes flat bread this morning. Was awesome. Was just scrambled eggs but it did the job.

    Was really tastey. Was the trader joes wheat flat bread. Was a small calorie cut but thought it tasted better than regular old toast

    Hi I'm Darcey I am in middle school and I really need to lose at least 20 pounds. I'm overweight and I need some motivation. I feel bored all the time and I exercise at school and sometimes at home I found this website on YouTube it is great for weight loss tracking. And so I wanted to try it. Seems good so far. Anyways I just wanted to be seeing other peoples weightloss stories and watch myself lose weight. Thanks for reading :smile:
