I need friends to help my stay accountable it would be so much easier! !

I have lost some weight since I've started. It's easy to hit the gym n workout but it's not so easy not eating everything I see lol..... But this time I'm not giving up. I bought 2 dresses that I will fit in by the end of this year that's my goal. I'm need to lose 40 lbs.

    You can do it... Replace the unhealthy stuff for healthier stuff, it's a process but you can get acclimated..

    I feel you, this too is my problem! I'm a snacker so what I have been doing lately is stocking the fridge with tangerines and oranges. This works for me, so I hope it helps you. (Those two fruits are the only ones that can fulfill my sweet cravings)

    Take it one day at a time. You'll do it as long as you are determined! I have a dress as well that I will fit into into sooner or later. When I first bought it, I couldn't pull it up past my thighs. Then I could, but couldn't even start to zip it. Then, with my daughter's help, we could get it zipped about halfway up. Then, with my daughter's help, we could zip it all the way up. Last time I tried it on, I could zip it up without my daughter's help. Of course I look like a stuffed sausage in it, as it's still way too small, but another six or eight pounds, and I've got it! Best of luck to you!

    Add me. :-) I'm in the same boat. I'm tired of the ups & downs & want someone seriously motivated to keep me motivated. So far I've lost 30, still have about 70 to go. I'm 5'3, trying to get down to 130-ish.

    You can do it! The dresses should be great motivation. I would put them in the kitchen so when you go get food you'll be reminded! I printed out a bunch of motivational quotes that I'm going to hang all around the house, hopefully it'll help. Good luck to you!!
