I have a long road ahead of me

Hey yall! My name is Meli and I am from California but recently moved to Nebraska *tear*. I'm 26 years old and turning 27 soon, I have been over weight almost my whole life except for like 4 years of my life. Everyone sees me and says you dont look over weight you look great but i am way overweight:(! I am very active and play soccer and volley ball but i eat like a slob! My normal weight should be from 130-150 I started this journey at 260 I lost about 30 lbs but kinda stayed at 230 for 2 years just recently I entered a challenge with an incentive of 500.00 with about 10 other girls for whoever loses the most weight and body fat wins. I finally have really been trying to eat better in order for me to lose weight, I am very happy to say I am now at 217 but I still have a long way to go. I feel what has helped me not feel so unmotivated is taking this week by week. My goal is to lose 2-4 lbs a week, when i put it in that perspective it doesnt feel impossible and I feel like every week i'm closer to my ultimate goal. I woud like to make friends on here to get advice and hold eachother accountable for what we eat and do each day. Best of luck to everyone and remember everything is possible with a little sacrafice! I hope to be putting a before and after photo pretty soon!
