Hello all. I'm CJ. 36 years old. Married. I'm new here. I need to lose about 130 pounds. Just looking for support and camaraderie. I desperately need to get healthy and look and feel better. I'm a binge eater and a textbook yo-yo dieter, but I've reached the point where I can't do it anymore. I'm praying daily for the strength and will to persevere, and I finally feel like this is the moment. If you know the struggle, please feel free to add me.

    I am on the same boat my friend and it's definitely not easy but it's what I want and better yet what my family needs so I know you can do it just keep focus and don't stray .

    I've got more people than I can follow, but...don't lose 130 lbs. Lose 10 lbs. Then lose another 10 lbs. Etc. 130 is too big a number to contemplate. 10 is do-able.

    Yeah, I set my goal to 275 for now. Once I hit that, I'll move it to 250, etc. Small increments do work best for me. Hopefully this time I'll stick to it.
