I am beginning this weight loss journey. I have about 50 lbs to lose and feel like it is so far away to get to. Need some support to be able to reach my goals. Thanks!

    Hey welcome and please try not to think too far in the future. For myself, thinking this way (and I always have in the past) is too discouraging. My dietician advised "think 5kg at a time" (or in your case can change that to 5 pound) and set smaller goals instead of looking at the big picture and thinking OMG will I ever get to goal weight. Happy to be your friend if you wish to add me :)

    Thank you girls! I always have excuses when it comes to losing weight. I also look at the big weight loss goal and say is this even doable. It is overwhelming.

    I just started back up again. Hoping to find people that I can support and also support my weight loss as well.

    I'm looking to lose the same amount. Although, not as worried about the number on the scale as I am how I feel. Please add me as a friend and we'll go on this journey together.
