in Getting Started
I am a 41 year old female. Who needs to loose about 125lbs. I tried ww in the past and found that it helped me to loose weight but I gained that back and more when I stopped. Well in a nut shell I am in need of mentors and friends to help hold me accountable and on track as I begin this journey again.

    I will join you. I too in the past lost a whack of weight with WW, and have gained quite a bit back too.
    I want to lose approx. 47 lbs, but find it hard as I work too much and don't have a lot of time to plan.
    WE CAN DO THIS!

    i started in September of 2012, took me a year to lose 100 pounds. been maintaining @ 100 pounds for the past two years. Did it entirely by counting calories. No fads, no secrets, no cleanses, no paleo. Got a digital scale and weigh everything i eat, then log everything i eat. got a HRM, started walking. now i run, hike, bike, yoga, use videos, dance central, whatever to keep moving. dont let yourself or others tell you its hard, its not hard, its really easy. you burn more than you eat and if you have those numbers (yes yes they are estimates) but if you have a rough idea what those numbers are, the rest is all choice.

    You can do this, I started Feb 22 2015 and I have lost 53 lbs so far. Set your mind to it, come up with a plan and stick with it, for at least a month to see if it working or if you need to switch it up a bit.

    You can add me as well, as can anyone else who has commented. I have struggled with my weight all my life, Start something like WW and do well but get bored and lose motivation. Always put back on what I've lost and more.

    You can add me as well. I would start, lose 10 lbs and stop. I've finally decided that this is my year to be persistent. So far I've lost 35 lbs and have 50 more to go.

    Well if need to lose 125lbs once you start the weight loss process you can stop. When your body notices you're back to your old ways it will hold on to and store all that you eat so you have to make a lifestyle change and stick with it smaller portions plenty of water frui and veggies no late night eating prepare your food NO TAKE OUT for a while. Stay focused it's hard but you can do this. No eating after 8pm ive loss 254lbs in 3yrs and till working at it I'm 66 yrs young I walk 3 miles everyday take your time work at your pace do what best for you. Remember you're doing this for you it not a contest you ain't gonna win no money it's for your health and you gonna look soooooo good when you get there so get it in
